Former Chelsea star working to get Osimhen to move to Stamford Bridge

Former Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel in a recent funny statement described himself as the agent of Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen.

Mikel also disclosed he is trying to get the Napoli star to join Chelsea.

Osimhen will cost his next club as much as €130million, which is the value of his release clause.

However, Mikel admits that Chelsea are faced with competition from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

Mikel said at the Web Summit Qatar: “I think there’s genuine interest between both (Chelsea and Osimhen).

“I think he loves the club, he wants to come to the club, obviously he wants to follow in my footsteps as a Nigerian player who has played for Chelsea, like Victor Moses, Celestine Babayaro, there’s not a lot of us.

“But he also has a lot of interest, like PSG, Man United, but I’m still pushing, sending him messages, trying to make sure he doesn’t expect too much, just narrow your mind on one club: The Blues!”
