Door not shut completely— Mikel on Osimhen’s transfer to Chelsea

Date:

Chelsea legend John Mikel Obi believes Victor Osimhen can still land a dream move to Premier League powerhouse Chelsea.

Osimhen was close to linking up with the Blues last summer but the West London club couldn’t complete the deal.

The 26-year-old instead joined Turkish Super Lig champions, Galatasaray on loan from Napoli.

With Chelsea still lacking firepower upfront, Mikel declared that the striker could move to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

“Chelsea has always been his club. He has come out open to say it’s his childhood club, growing up, he’s always wanted to play for the club,’” he said on Obione podcast

“His idol is Didier Drogba. He loves the way he played. He made it pretty clear that this is a club he wants to come to. Unfortunately, we didn’t get it done last summer, but listen, you never know, I don’t think the door is shut completely.”
