Chelsea are set for a busy summer transfer window with a number of incomings and outgoings certain to take place at the club.
While the Blues need to strengthen a handful of positions if they are to mount a title challenge next season, the topmost priority remains signing a world-class striker who can lead the attack from the front and be prolific in front of goal.
Though Enzo Maresca’s team have been linked to a number of strikers from around the globe, former Chelsea star John Obi-Mikel is imploring the club to sign Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen has long been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, and former Chelsea star Mikel is urging the Blues to get the deal over the line.
Interestingly, Osimhen was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea last summer, and personal terms were agreed between the player and the club, However, the deal fell through at the last moment.
And Mikel has once again reiterated the need for Chelsea to sign the Nigerian striker this week on his podcast.

What Mikel had to say about Chelsea signing Osimhen
Mikel said, “We HAVE to get Victor Osimhen, it will be a disaster after everything we have been through between me, the club and him if he goes somewhere and wears another shirt. He has been on fire, the hunger he plays with, he is reliable, gets you goals and assists.”
“Victor is tailor-made for us, he supported us growing up, his idol is Drogba, how many times am I going to say this, he bleeds blue, he wants to play for us!
“It would literally be a phone call, a couple of days and done, I have done all I can, it is now down to the club.”
