Former Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi, has reiterated his call for Napoli top striker Victor Osimhen to join Chelsea.
Speaking on his The Obi One Podcast, Mikel who won every club title contest with Chelsea said the Blues are crying for a goal scorer like Osimhen who topped the Serie A goal chart last season and winning the title for his club after 30 years.
“We are crying out for someone to give us goals and that’s something you would give us. Saudi Arabia can wait, give us two, three, four years at Chelsea. Next season, I hope you come to the club,” said Mikel.
“You look at our Chelsea team, we’re not playing that great at the minute but then we lack goals, we lack a striker who can run into spaces, who can create.
“I was watching Darwin Nunez for Liverpool, he had about 11 shots and all the runs he made, he created those chances by himself because he was running in behind.
‘That’s something Victor will give us at Chelsea, a striker who is really willing to run behind, obviously those passes will come through and he will get goals.
‘I think we’re crying out for goals, if he comes to Chelsea I think it will suit him really well because we don’t have anyone doing that right now so there’s not going to be too much pressure on him coming into the club because obviously we need that, we’re crying out for that.”
The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the top strikers in Europe with 65 goals in 111 appearances for Napoli.
