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.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
