Ahead of the final weeks of the summer transfer window, Osimhen’s future continues to be the subject of intense viral speculation. Romelu Lukaku could move in a different direction, as the striker has requested to leave Napoli and has been linked to a transfer to Chelsea.

Players like Pedro Neto, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Marc Guiu, and Filip Jorgensen have already been signed by Chelsea this summer; however, they appear ready to continue their spending spree, and the 25-year-old is highly anticipated to lead their line during the 2024/25 season.

Mikel stated a few weeks before the end of the transfer window that he would attempt to assist the club in reaching their main goal—a player he thought would be a immediate hit in the English Premier League.

“We desire someone who can finish, score goals, and the tap-ins. Mikel said, “Someone like Erling Haaland.”

“Victor Osimhen will bring something like that to Chelsea. I hope that the fans of Chelsea will finally see him join the club. I will ensure that he prioritizes Chelsea by sending him those calls and text messages! But he seems to want to join Chelsea because he loves the club.

“I’m sure all the big clubs are interested in signing him. I believe that if we are able to obtain his signature, it would be a tremendous boon for the club. He is someone who can set us goals, and that is what we need right now.

“A wonderful man, a wonderful person, and I really hope he comes to the club, and I will do my best to make sure that happens. In addition, Didier speaks to him, discussing his own perspectives and the significance of the club to us. We all wish Victor to join the club.

Nevertheless, his costly €130m remains an issue, as PSG and other suitors have withdrawn, leaving Chelsea as the only European team that is still interested in signing him.
