Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, debunked the rumours that the reigning CAF Player of the Year would not leave Napoli on loan.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has already signed several players, including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Omari Kellyman.
Former Chelsea star William Gallas has urged the English Premier League club to sign Nigerian international Victor Osimhen because of his goal-scoring attitude.
But Gallas wonders why the Blues are yet to move for Osimhen, especially because of his goal-scoring attitude. The former Arsenal star said via Yop l.Frii:
“Like Didier Drogba, Victor Osimhen can take Chelsea to the next level. Looking at what he has done with Napoli, leading them to the title, he could do that with Chelsea.
“Chelsea need a striker, and I don’t know what they are waiting for.”
The London club are already exploring the possibility of signing Wolves winger Pedro Neto as the transfer deadline approaches.
Gallas expressed concern that Chelsea might miss out on Osimhen, especially as the club is close to securing Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion.
