Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi has urged his former club to sign Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window.
Mikel believes Chelsea would benefit significantly from adding the Nigerian striker to their squad.
Osimhen has established himself as one of Europe’s most dangerous forwards and has attracted interest from several major clubs. The striker combines physical strength with pace and clinical finishing.
Chelsea have struggled for consistency in front of goal and could benefit from having a proven centre forward.
Mikel believes Osimhen has the qualities required to succeed in the Premier League. The Nigerian has also demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure during his career.
A move to Stamford Bridge would represent another major step for Osimhen if an agreement can be reached. Chelsea are expected to assess several attacking options during the transfer window.
However, Mikel believes Osimhen should be among the club’s priorities. The striker’s goalscoring record makes him an attractive option for a team looking to improve its attacking output.
Osimhen will now have to consider the offers available before deciding where to continue his career.
