SUPER EAGLES LEGEND MIKEL OBI HAS REVEALED THAT CHELSEA WILL REVISIT THEIR PURSUIT OF VICTOR OSIMHEN IN THE JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW.
CHELSEA MISSED OUT ON SIGNING OSIMHEN AFTER MAKING A LATE MOVE ON TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY. THE BLUES WERE INTERESTED IN BRINGING THE FORWARD TO STAMFORD BRIDGE ON LOAN BUT COULD NOT AGREE ON HIS WEEKLY WAGES.
OSIMHEN, THE 2023 AFRICAN BEST PLAYER, ULTIMATELY MADE A TRANSFER TO TURKISH SIDE GALATASARAY A FEW DAYS LATER.
MIKEL OBI REVEALS CHELSEA’S PLAN TO RETURN FOR OSIMHEN
CHELSEA HAVE NOT GIVEN UP HOPE OF SIGNING NAPOLI STAR OSIMHEN, AND MIKEL OBI HAS REVEALED THAT THE BLUES WILL MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT IN JANUARY.
ON HIS OBI ONE PODCAST, MIKEL OBI DISCUSSED CHELSEA’S FUTURE PLANS FOR OSIMHEN: “DEFINITELY THERE ARE NO ISSUES. I THINK IF WE HAVE TO PICK THIS BACK UP AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, WHETHER IT IS JANUARY OR NEXT SUMMER, WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE, WE KNOW WHERE WE’VE STOPPED, AND IT’S JUST LITTLE DETAILS THAT NEED TO BE FINALIZED AND THE DEAL WILL BE DONE.”
THE 2013 AFCON WINNER STATED THAT CHELSEA IS AWARE OF HOW TO RESUME NEGOTIATIONS FOR OSIMHEN AND THAT ONLY MINOR DETAILS REMAIN BEFORE THE SUPER EAGLES STRIKER CAN JOIN THE CLUB.
MIKEL OBI ALSO REVEALED THAT OSIMHEN HAD HIS MIND SET ON JOINING CHELSEA ON TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY. HIS DESIRE TO JOIN A PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB MAY STILL BE FULFILLED IN THE NEXT TRANSFER WINDOW, WITH CHELSEA STILL KEEN TO SIGN HIM.
