CONFIRMED BREAKING NEWS: coming live from Fabrizio Romano, Didier Drogba in an interview has said and it has been confirmed that Victor Osimhen will be a Chelsea player next season. Former Chelsea star and legend is confident his old club will sign Victor Osimhen this summer.
Chelsea are actively seeking a top-class striker ahead of the upcoming transfer window, with Osimhen emerging as a leading candidate according to various sources.
Former Chelsea defender Gallas expressed confidence in the potential signing of Osimhen, likening the Nigerian to club legend Didier Drogba. Gallas highlighted Osimhen’s combination of strength and pace, predicting that he would make a significant impact in the Premier League.
Reports indicate that Osimhen has made the decision to depart Napoli at the conclusion of the current campaign. In a recent interview with CBS, Osimhen hinted at his future plans, stating that he has already made up his mind regarding his next career move. Despite facing setbacks earlier in his career, Osimhen affirmed his autonomy in decision-making and expressed optimism about his future endeavors.
While Chelsea appears to be frontrunners for Osimhen’s signature, other Premier League and European clubs, including Arsenal, have also shown interest in the 25-year-old striker. Osimhen’s relationship with Napoli has deteriorated this season, exacerbated by a social media controversy surrounding his penalty miss.
On the pitch, Osimhen has experienced a mixed season, characterized by injuries and inconsistent performances. In the 2022-23 campaign, he enjoyed a prolific spell, netting 31 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions. His impressive goal tally played a crucial role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph, marking their first league title in over three decades. Additionally, Osimhen made significant contributions in the Champions League, guiding Napoli to the quarter-finals before their elimination by AC Milan.
However, the current season has presented challenges for Osimhen, with injuries limiting his playing time and impacting his goal-scoring output. Despite registering eight goals in 18 appearances for Napoli, his overall impact has been hindered by fitness concerns.
As the transfer window approaches, Osimhen’s future remains uncertain, with Chelsea and other suitors closely monitoring developments surrounding the talented striker.
