Enzo Maresca and Chelsea have told that this goal -hungry striker is only 'one call' of Stamford Bridge, although Manchester United is reportedly other ideas
Chelsea is only 'one call' by the landing star -striker Victor Osimhen, according to former midfielder John Obi Mikel. However, the sniper is also on the Manchester United radar.
Osimhen has long been interesting for the large batters of the Premier League, after he has established himself as one of Europe's best goal scorers with Napoli. It seemed as if Osimhen could continue last summer, but without permanent vooremers, he went on loan to Galatasaray instead.
It is thought that after this temporary movement will end this summer, Osimhen will give a permanent transfer, and the blues – who have previously had a documented interest in the Nigerian star – are among the rumors. Mikel, who called at home in West London for more than ten years from 2006 to 2017, is close to his 26-year-old countryman and believes that only one phone call could seal a switch.
“Listen, it will be really sad if we don't get a player who supported us as a child and wants to play for this football club,” said the former Chelsea star on Osimhen, who appeared on the OBI One -Podcast.
“His idol is Drogba. He will want to break records, win our trophies, bring us back to the top and come for the records of Drogba. I tell you, that would be his mission.
“If the club chooses not to strive, then, good enough. Good luck for them, but the good thing is that we know where we left it. We can literally pick up the phone and get it right in the door. Get it in!”
But if other reports have to be believed, it is a different Premier League team – Ruben Amorim's Red Devils – that Osimhen will pursue with the most power.
Sky Germany states that United has drawn up a four -member wish list for the summer window, with the name Van Osimhen among them. Bought with Rasmus Hojlund at the Serie A for a considerable amount and failure to attract attention – only 24 goals in all competitions during 84 games – and summer recruitment Joshua Zirkzee that is used in a less advanced position, a productive no. 9 looks on the agenda this summer on the Old Trafford.
It is estimated that the Osimhen contract has a release clause of £ 64 million and comments from club legend Gary Neville suggest that the bank should be broken to protect such an attacker.
“They immediately need five new players before you even think about it. The three at the front are not good enough, and the two wingbacks, they are not good enough,” he said on Sky Sports.
'They need five players. They must serve him [Amorim] With five players who are good enough in this system to be able to play his system as he wants. “
