Former Chelsea star Florent Malouda believes Victor Osimhen would be a fantastic addition to the club as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of next season. With Nicolas Jackson struggling to impress consistently, Chelsea are reportedly targeting a new frontman—and Osimhen is high on their list.

Although a move for the Nigerian striker nearly happened last season, wage demands stalled the deal. Still, Malouda hopes the transfer can finally go through this time. “The connection between Osimhen and Chelsea is strong,” Malouda told Racing Tipster. “We’ve had top African players at the club in the past, and I believe Osimhen can lead the next wave.”

He added that Osimhen wouldn’t just be good for the team but could also push Jackson to improve his game. “We need a striker who can score 20 or more goals a season, and Osimhen is that kind of player,” Malouda said. “He’d be a great signing and a major boost for Maresca’s side.”

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is not at risk of being sacked despite their 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on Wednesday. Sky Sports reports that the club still sees Amorim as a key part of their long-term plans.

Even though United missed out on an automatic Champions League spot, the defeat won’t affect their faith in the 40-year-old coach. After the match in Bilbao, Amorim said he would step down immediately without asking for compensation if both the club’s board and fans no longer supported him.

Amorim took over from Erik ten Hag in November when United were 13th in the league. Since then, the team has slipped three more places, hovering just above the relegation zone. They have also been knocked out of all three cup competitions this season.

Lionel Messi has revealed the goal he holds dearest out of the hundreds he’s scored in his legendary career. The Inter Miami forward, now 38, picked his header against Manchester United in the 2009 UEFA Champions League final as his personal favorite.

Messi, who has found the net over 800 times while playing for Argentina, Barcelona, PSG, and now Inter Miami, said that despite scoring more beautiful and important goals, the one in Rome stands out for him. “That header in the Champions League final has always been my favorite,” he said.

The goal, which came as Barcelona’s second in their 2-0 win over United, saw a much shorter Messi rise above Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic to beat goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. The moment not only sealed a memorable win for Barça but also helped Messi secure his first Champions League trophy with the Spanish giants. It’s now considered one of the most unforgettable goals in the tournament’s history.
