Why Osimhen would be a good signing for Chelsea

Former Aston Villa star, Gabriel Agbonlahor has opined for Chelsea to make a move for Victor Osimhen who he said would be a good addition to their squad.

Chelsea are in the process of trimming their squad ahead of the season as they have already sold many of their key players to rival clubs within and outside the Premier League.

So far this summer Chelsea have added the duo of Christopher Nkunku and Nicholas Jackson to their squad.

Agbonlahor, however, stressed that the Blues still need a player like Osimhen in their squad.

“They (Chelsea) still need a proper striker. I liked Romelu Lukaku when he was playing at Everton. It is what a lot of teams need right out in the league as well,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider.

“Victor Osimhen would be good, but I think they are talking around £170m for him, which is too much.”

Osimhen was impressive for Napoli last season after he helped them win their first domestic title in 33 years.

He also emerged as the Serie A highest goalscorer with 26 goals from 32 matches.
