Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has publicly called on his old club to complete a deal for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian international has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but negotiations have proven challenging due to Napoli’s high valuation.
Despite the obstacles, Mikel believes Osimhen would be a valuable addition to the Chelsea squad and has urged the club to do everything possible to secure his signature.
“I keep saying we need Victor Osimhen. Go and get Victor Osimhen. Please get that deal done because we need an out-and-out striker.
“He is a player that is going to get us goals,” Mikel said on the Obi One Podcast.
“Yes, I have said it, technically maybe not the best, goalscoring, he will get us goals and that is what we need. We need a striker who will stay around the box like Haaland.”
