This summer, Chelsea anticipates a whirlwind of activity in the transfer market, with multiple players making their way in and out of the club.
To compete for the title next season, the Blues must shore up various positions, but the highest priority is acquiring a top-tier striker who can effectively lead the offensive line and consistently find the back of the net.
While Enzo Maresca’s squad has been connected to several forwards globally, former Chelsea player John Obi-Mikel is passionately urging the club to pursue Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen’s potential move to Stamford Bridge has been a topic of discussion for some time, and Mikel is advocating for Chelsea to finalize this transfer.
Notably, Osimhen was previously close to joining Chelsea last summer, with personal agreements reached, but the transfer ultimately fell through.
Mikel reiterated the importance of recruiting the Nigerian striker during his discussion on a recent podcast.

John Obi-Mikel’s Thoughts on Osimhen’s Potential Signing
Mikel expressed, “We MUST secure Victor Osimhen; it would be a catastrophe for all involved if he ends up elsewhere. He has been exceptional, showcasing the drive we need, and he consistently delivers goals and assists.”
“Victor is perfect for us; he grew up supporting the club, idolizing Drogba. I can’t stress enough how dedicated he is—he wants to don our colors!
“It could be just a phone call and a few days to finalize; I’ve done all I can now, and it’s up to the club.”
