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 footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
