Former captain of the senior national team of Nigeria John Obi Mikel says he will do all that is within his reach for Napoli forward Victor Osimhen to join English Premier League side Chelsea next season, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Osimhen is yet to extend his deal which has two years to run with Napoli putting his future up in the air. His camp and that of the club are yet to reach an agreement on the terms of extending his deal at the club.
The 24 year old Nigerian who fired the club to the league title is keen on a move away from the team according to reports, and Mikel who was Osimhen’s captain in the senior national team of Nigeria at some point said Chelsea will be the perfect place for the forward.
He told the forward during an interview on his podcast that he will make his move to Chelsea happen because the team needs someone like him due to his striking profile with club legend Didier Drogba.
“I know you’re coming to Chelsea. Next season, I know you’re gonna come to Chelsea. I’m telling you, I’m gonna be the agent to broker that deal”.
“I’m gonna make sure that happens. We are crying out for someone like you — since Didier Drogba left the club”, he told Osimhen during the live interview on Obi one podcast.
