Don’t Miss This Golden Chance! – Mikel Warns Chelsea On Osimhen Deal

Former Chelsea star, Mikel Obi, has urged the London club to act swiftly and not miss the golden opportunity to sign in-form Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen………READ MORE 

Osimhen, who was on Chelsea’s radar last summer, saw a potential move collapse due to high wage demands. The deal fell through, leaving many fans disappointed and wondering what might have been.

Currently on loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray, Osimhen has been in sensational form, scoring 27 goals and providing 5 assists in just 32 appearances across all competitions. His goal-scoring prowess has reignited calls for Chelsea to secure his signature as they search for more firepower up front to support Nicolas Jackson.

However, reports suggest Chelsea’s current manager, Enzo Maresca, is not prioritizing the former Napoli and Lille striker for the upcoming summer transfer window—a move Mikel Obi believes would be a costly mistake.

Speaking on his Obione podcast, Mikel passionately stated:

“Honestly, it would be heartbreaking if we don’t sign a player who grew up supporting this club and dreams of wearing our jersey. Osimhen idolizes Didier Drogba, and he wants to follow in his footsteps—breaking records, winning trophies, and bringing Chelsea back to the top.

“If the club decides to ignore him, that’s their choice, but let’s not pretend we don’t know how close we were. The path is still open. Just pick up the phone and make the move—it’s time!”

As Chelsea’s need for a clinical striker grows more urgent, Mikel’s call might just be the nudge the club needs to reignite interest in one of Africa’s finest forwards.
