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.”
Pep Guardiola reveals why he left Manchester City. It can be recalled that the manager recently left Man City, and now he has revealed his reason during an interaction with reporters.
He shared that he is running out of energy.
“I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left, I am running out of energy. I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day.”
He then added that he believes the club should have a new manager with fresh energy to direct the team.
Football legend Paul Merson praises Mikel Arteta on his win this season and shares good luck to him in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
He praised the manager, saying that Arteta really pushed the club to the best and the win is well deserved.
“Congratulations to Arsenal once again. It is a well-deserved win after 22 years. We can’t wait to see the 30th of May and see if it’s a double win.”
Luis Enrique, manager of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), praised Arsenal F.C. and called them the best team in the world after their win in the Premier League.
He shared: “I believe they deserve to win the league — they have had an outstanding season.
“We have already faced this Arsenal team, so we are aware of their capabilities.
“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score frequently. This creates a remarkable combination for them.”
