Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel has sounded the alarm: Victor Osimhen is ready, willing, and waiting — all it takes now is a single decisive phone call.
In a powerful plea delivered on his podcast, Mikel urged Chelsea to act fast, stating:
> “It will be a disaster if he ends up at another club… He bleeds blue. He wants to play for us.”
The Napoli talisman, who netted 28 goals in 33 matches last season, is reportedly a lifelong Chelsea fan and grew up idolizing Didier Drogba. Now, the stars may be aligning for him to follow in the Ivorian’s legendary footsteps.
With Chelsea’s striker struggles well-documented since Diego Costa’s departure, Osimhen is seen as the missing piece:
Elite finishing
Explosive pace
Relentless pressing
True #9 instincts
4 UCL goals last season
80+ goals since joining Napoli
Manager Enzo Maresca is desperate for a forward who can thrive alongside Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández, and Osimhen fits that bill with power and pedigree.
Negotiations now hinge on Chelsea’s willingness to act swiftly. The message is clear: the window of opportunity is wide open — but not forever.
