He bleeds Blue - Mikel Obi campaigns for Victor Osimhen to join Chelsea

Former Chelsea midfielder Mikel John Obi has once again championed the cause for Victor Osimhen.

Mikel wants Osimhen a prolific Nigerian striker currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, to don the blue of Chelsea.

This impassioned campaign, articulated through a video shared on social media by "The Obi One Podcast,".

Mikel has belief in Osimhen's potential to transform Chelsea's fortunes and reignite their pursuit of silverware.

Mikel's argument is rooted in Osimhen's extraordinary goal-scoring prowess, highlighted by his remarkable tally of 36 goals in 40 games across all competitions during his loan spell at Galatasaray.

This performance not only reaffirms Osimhen's status as one of Europe's premier finishers but also aligns with Mikel's vision of a Chelsea side capable of challenging for the Premier League and Champions League titles.

On Osimhen, he said, "They have the best finisher right now in Europe. I don't see any better."

With the team on the brink of qualifying for the Champions League, the need for a reliable, trophy-winning striker has never been more apparent.

Mikel's narrative is further enriched by Osimhen's personal connection to Chelsea, noting that the young striker grew up idolizing Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.

Mikel added, "He bleeds blue. He wants to play for us."

Having led Napoli to their first Serie A title in over three decades during the 2022-2023 season, Osimhen demonstrated his capacity to elevate a team to the pinnacle of domestic football.
