Former Chelsea star believes Osimhen will secure Premier League move

Posted : 30 November 2023

Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson expresses confidence that Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles striker, will eventually make a move to Chelsea.

Osimhen, currently considered one of the world's best strikers, has attracted attention from top clubs globally due to his outstanding performances for Napoli.

Last summer, Manchester United, Chelsea, PSG, and Bayern Munich were all rumored to be interested in the Nigerian striker. However, Napoli resisted letting him go and focused on negotiating a contract extension.

Despite Napoli's efforts, Osimhen has declined to sign a new deal. With just over 18 months left on his contract, several top teams are considering pursuing him. Osimhen has a strong preference for the Premier League, making Chelsea a likely destination.

Former Chelsea star Johnson is optimistic that Osimhen will eventually join the Blues.

“Regardless of what’s happening at Napoli, I believe Victor [Osimhen] would want to join Chelsea anyway,” Johnson stated, as reported by Chelstransfer.

“However, Victor will be kicking himself that this move could happen when Chelsea is currently in transition. Of course, they’re a big team, and they’re going to bounce back eventually.

“But as long as Victor is willing to wait 18 months or so for that to happen, then I’m sure he’d still want to sign for them in January.”

Given Osimhen's current circumstances, it's unlikely that Napoli will allow him to leave without a transfer fee. Club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis is known for his business acumen, and if Osimhen departs, he would likely seek to make a profit.
