Jose Fonte Criticizes Chelsea for Missing Chance to Sign Victor Osimhen
Former West Ham United and Southampton defender Jose Fonte has expressed disappointment over Chelsea’s failure to secure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who was often linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.
Chelsea had shown interest in Osimhen since last summer, but the club failed to bring him in. Instead, Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli, a move that Fonte believes Chelsea will regret.
Fonte, who has played against Osimhen, praised the striker’s abilities, likening him to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba. “Chelsea are crying out for a striker like Victor Osimhen,” Fonte said in an interview with BoyleSports. “He has the potential to be another Drogba for them. He’s a winner with pace, power, and great technical quality.”
Reflecting on Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray, Fonte was critical of Premier League clubs’ failure to sign him.
“When I saw Osimhen go to Galatasaray, I thought it was foolish that no Premier League club had signed him. He’s aggressive, fast, clever, and powerful, and once he’s in the Premier League, he’ll be a nightmare for defenders.”
Fonte also recalled playing against Osimhen in the Champions League, joking that Osimhen might have taken it easy on him, but still described the experience as a “nightmare.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
