Transfer: Mikel Obi, Drogba fighting to bring Osimhen to Chelsea

Didier Drogba and John Obi Mikel are both trying to convince Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, to move to Chelsea.

Osimhen is expected to leave the former Serie A champions this summer.

The Super Eagles striker has asked to leave Napoli and has been linked with a transfer to Chelsea in a deal that would see Romelu Lukaku move the other way.

Mikel is confident Osimhen would be a hit at Stamford Bridge. He said: “We want somebody who can finish, score goals, the tap-ins. Someone like Erling Haaland. That’s something Victor Osimhen will bring to Chelsea.

“I hope that Chelsea fans will finally see him come to the club. I’ll make sure I send him those texts messages and calls, making sure Chelsea is his top priority!
“But it seems like he loves the club and wants to come to Chelsea. I’m sure he has all the big clubs wanting to sign him. I think if we can secure his signature it would be fantastic for the club.

“He’s somebody who will get us goals and that’s something that we need right now. A fantastic guy, fantastic human being and I really do hope he comes to the club and I’ll try my best to make sure that happens. Didier is also speaking to him, sharing his own ideas and what the club means to us. We all want to see Victor come to the club.”
