As the ‘real feelings’ of the £110 million aim become evident, Victor Osimhen is texting Chelsea icons.
Victor Osimhen is a transfer target for Napoli, and two former Chelsea players are attempting to persuade him to select the Blues if he goes this summer.
In an effort to attract Victor Osimhen to Chelsea, Didier Drogba and John Obi Mikel have disclosed that they are in constant communication with the player.
The 25-year-old sensation from Napoli, Osimhen, has been linked to the Blues for a few years now, but there is growing expectation that he will likely leave Italy this summer. After Napoli revealed the player had submitted a transfer request to leave Antonio Conte’s team, the player’s chances of leaving had considerably decreased.
The 37-year-old Mikel has been transparent about his attempts to persuade fellow Nigerian Osimhen that moving to Stamford Bridge is the best course of action. However, he has verified that Drogba has also joined in, praising the striker—who has a £110 million release clause—as the exact kind of player that his former team ought to value most.
In a new video, the former Blues midfielder stated, “We don’t really need somebody who’s going to come in and be feeding and creating chances.” “Someone who can finish, score goals, and make tap-ins is what we need.
“A person akin to Erling Haaland. Victor Osimhen will provide Chelsea with that. It is my hope that Chelsea supporters will witness him join the team at last. I’ll see to it that he gives Chelsea top priority by giving him those SMS and calls.”
Then, based on their chats, he disclosed that he believes Osimhen is amenable to the notion of joining Chelsea, saying, “He seems like he loves the club.” It appears that he would prefer to visit Chelsea.”
Although Pedro Neto’s £54 million transfer from Wolves has just been announced, Enzo Maresca’s team is still looking for a new striker. The 46-year-old Drogba has also actively participated in bending Osimhen’s ear, Mikel continued.
“He’s somebody who will get us goals and that’s something that we need right now,” he said. “A wonderful man and human being, and I sincerely hope he visits the club. I’ll do everything in my power to see that through.
“Didier is conversing with him as well, offering his personal insights and our shared meaning of the club. Everyone wants Victor to visit the club. When it occurs, it occurs. Despite the substantial transfer cost, if we
Mikel’s public plea is reminiscent of actions taken by legendary Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand, who recently assisted his former team in obtaining the highly sought-after signing of French defender Leny Yoro. Yoro, 18, claimed that Ferdinand called him after he had finished moving to Old Trafford to talk about the team and its background, adding that this “helped a lot” in helping him make his transfer decision.
Many Chelsea fans will be hoping that Drogba and Mikel can entice Osimhen in the same way, and maybe even more so than they did for him. Most people consider Drogba to be one of the greatest finishers in Premier League history, and the two-time African Footballer of the Year has motivated a new wave of players on his own continent.
In the transfer market, Aurelio de Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, is well-known for being a demanding buyer. Should Osimhen decide to sell, you can bet that he would try to get the release clause amount paid, or at the at least, he will seek anything close to it. The Super Eagles star’s contract in Naples still has two years left on it, but his present club’s situation is complicated by the news of the transfer request.
Although Arsenal has been linked to a No. 9 position, Chelsea is now seen to be the front-runner to capture him.
