Even when his signed a new contract (valid until 2026), nobody believed that Victor Osimhen will stay in Napoli for such a long time. And the Nigerian striker recently confirmed that when he said that he already decided what he will do in June. Napoli president understood his words and also announced that the striker will leave and that ‘Real Madrid, PSG, or some top Premier League club’ are in play. Well, we can certainly leave out Real now, when they are about to splash the cash on Kylian Mbappe, but the French champions and English clubs remain as a possibility.Former Gunner not impressed with OsimhenOsimhen himself always spoke highly of the Premier League and confessed it’s his dream to play there. And his close friend Obi Mikel reveals that the Nigerian is close to Chelsea and that he is influencing him.“I’m still Osimhen’s agent, trying to get him to Chelsea! I’ve got 20 per cent of that deal, so I hope it works out! I think there is genuine interest between both. I think he loves the club, he wants to come to the club. Obviously, he wants to follow my footsteps as a Nigerian player who has played for Chelsea – Victor Moses, Celestine Babayaro, not a lot of us. London as well, fantastic city, instead of going to Liverpool or places like that you want to live in London. But he also has a lot of interest. Paris Saint-Germain, Man United. I’m still pushing, sending him messages, trying to make sure he doesn’t expect to much, narrow you’re mind on one club – the Blues. I am pushing him, I hope he comes to the club” Mikel said at the Web Summit Qatar.Obi Mikel unfiltered: When an African footballer earns money, it’s not just his moneyFormer Blues midfielder was joking about being Osimhen’s manager and taking percentage from a potential deal, but he is genuine in his wish to bring the African to Stamford Bridge, and he explained why.“I think one thing we lack, I think everyone who watch the Carabao Cup final on Sunday will see that one thing we are lacking is scoring goals. We need that striker who will score goals. And that’s what Victor will give you. He’s not the most skilful guy, but goals are definitely guaranteed. If he could get us 20 plus a season, 25, who knows, that’s what Erling Haaland does, that’s why he’s one of the best, he’s not really there for link-ups and all that, get the ball in the box and he will finish. That’s something Victor will definitely give us. Let’s hope it works out and he comes to Chelsea and becomes a legend” said Obi Mikel.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUESaturday 18.00: (5.90) Nott.Forest (4.20) Liverpool (1.55)18.00: (1.95) Newcastle (3.50) Wolverhampton (3.90)18.00: (1.47) Tottenham (4.40) Crystal Palace (6.75)18.00: (2.70) Fulham (3.35) Brighton (2.80)18.00: (2.15) Everton (3.50) West Ham (3.60)18.00: (3.05) Brentford (3.50) Chelsea (2.25)Sunday 16.00: (3.70) Burnley (3.50) Bournemouth (2.00)18.30: (1.32) Man.City (6.00) Man.Utd.
