Osimhen Can Still Join Chelsea – Mikel

Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi insists his compatriot Victor Osimhen can still make his dream move to the Premier League club.

Osimhen was close to joining Chelsea last summer but the move failed to materialise.

The Nigeria international however moved to Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

However, Mikel is hopeful the Nigerian star striker will end up at Stamford Bridge soon

“Chelsea has always been his club. He has come out to say it’s his childhood club, growing up, he’s always wanted to play for the club,’” he said on Obione podcast

“His idol is Didier Drogba. He loves the way he plays. He made it pretty clear that this is a club he wants to come to.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get it done last summer, but listen, you never know, I don’t think the door is shut completely.”
