Mikel Obi, along with legendary Didier Drogba, shows interest in convincing Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen to join Chelsea.
Osimhen has been making waves in Serie A, showcasing his remarkable skills and goal-scoring ability, which has attracted the attention of several top clubs, including Chelsea.
Osimhen’s next destination has been one of the biggest discussions in the summer transfer market.
Last summer, the 25-year-old striker was linked with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Chelsea, and other Premier League sides.
However, Napoli refused to sell and got the Super Eagles star to sign a contract extension.
But this summer, Osimhen looks set to leave Naples. As it stands, the most likely destinations are Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG, but none of them has made headway with the deal.
Two weeks ago, there were strong reports that Osimhen had agreed on personal terms with PSG, but the talks have cooled off because they have been unable to cut a deal with Napoli.
Mikel Obi, with his extensive experience in the Premier League and Nigeria’s national team, undoubtedly sees the potential benefits of Osimhen’s transition to Chelsea, a club with a rich history and significant resources._
Drogba, a Chelsea legend, adds an influential voice to the conversation, considering his past success and connection to the club.
His involvement may resonate with Osimhen, who could view his potential move as a chance to follow in Drogba’s footsteps.
Chelsea would need up to €130 million to convince Napoli to sell Osimhen.
But they have to make a decisive move as soon as possible because the transfer window will close at the end of August.
