John Mikel Obi, a former Chelsea midfielder, has voiced hope that Victor Osimhen will join the London-based team during the upcoming transfer window.
The former Nigerian international supported the Napoli striker’s Premier League success.
Osimhen, according to him, is the kind of striker Premier League teams prefer.
“I believe Victor Osimhen fits very well with the Premier League. In the most recent episode of The Obi One podcast, Mikel said, “He got the tools to succeed in England.

“When I think back to him a few years ago, I would say ‘no.’ However, after watching him both last season and this season, I would say without a doubt.
“He would enter the Premier League and fit in immediately. He would score goals for you, slip past defenders, and make the squad work harder. And if you look at a lot of the teams in the Premier League right now, I believe this is what they’re probably going for. a striker with good speed. Who wants to sneak up on the defence since it will benefit their team? Doe’s it not? He wears down the defence, which makes the game more accessible and gives you more opportunities. And Victor [Osimhen] would most likely offer you that, in my opinion.
“I really hope you visit Chelsea. But based on the noises I hear, he is a significant United. However, I sincerely hope he visits Chelsea.
