Mikel Obi Says Chelsea Should Sign Osimhen Now or They Will Regret It Later
Former Chelsea star John Mikel Obi believes the club must not miss the chance to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea had tried to land Osimhen last summer, but the deal fell through due to his high wage demands.
The Super Eagles forward, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in red-hot form this season, scoring 27 goals and providing 5 assists in 32 matches across all competitions.
Despite their ongoing search for a strong partner to support Nicolas Jackson up front, Chelsea reportedly aren’t targeting Osimhen this summer.
Speaking on the Obione podcast, Mikel expressed his disappointment at the club’s hesitation.
“It would be a big shame if we pass on someone who’s always wanted to wear the Chelsea shirt,” Mikel said.
“He grew up watching Drogba, idolising him. He’d want to chase his records, win titles, and take us back to the top. That’s his dream.”
Mikel added that the opportunity to sign Osimhen is still open. “We already have a connection. If the club decides to go back in, it’s just a phone call away. Get him in!” he said.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
