Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has been told join Chelsea when he decides to leave Italy. John Obi Mikel recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is very ready to broker a move to the Blues for the Napoli hitman if he wants him to, because now is not the time for him to go to Saudi Arabia.
Mikel added that he needs the Nigerian striker to choose Chelsea above every other EPL club when the time comes.
His words, “It’s not the time to go to Saudi. Next season I know you’re going to come to Chelsea. I’m going to be the agent to broker that deal. You’re 100% coming to Chelsea!”
Osimhen responded, “I had two jersey’s from my brother when I was a kid – Chelsea and Manchester United. When I was playing grassroots [I was compared to Didier Drogba]. We used to use my brothers phone [to watch Drogba]. I would then go on the pitch and try to [emulate] at his game [and learn]. I still watch Drogba’s comps now.”
WOW.
