Chelsea told to sign this £133m striker

Pat Nevin has sent a message to Chelsea on the next player to sign as advised to make moves for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen at the end of the season in his column for the Mail Online.

Osimhen has been impressive in the Italian Serie A this season for Napoli, who could emerge as, the title winner.

The Naples are 15 points clear at the top, with the 24-year-old striker scoring 18 goals in 19 games.

Osimhen would reportedly cost any club interest in him £133m. Irrespective of the price tag, Nevin said the striker is the kind of player he would sign.

He said: “But it’s Chelsea. It’s the Premier League. The fans are getting fed up. The ownership are under pressure.

“You don’t have a lot of time and the negatives are you’re halfway down the table and not scoring enough goals.

“Everybody knows they need somebody to put the ball in the net. That would help a wee bit.

“They could go out and sign a striker, but Chelsea’s history of buying strikers at the wrong end of their career is extraordinary.

“They want somebody at the right end of their career who can become like Didier Drogba. I would get Victor Osimhen from Napoli if it was up to me.”
