‘He shouldn't be at Galatasaray’ - Chelsea legend claims Osimhen’s agent is to blame for failed transfer

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan last summer after a failed transfer move away from Napoli to a top European team.

Osimhen was rumoured to be interested in French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain, but there was no firm information.

In the last hours of the summer transfer window in the top five European leagues, Chelsea of the Premier League and Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia made intense courtships of the Nigerian international, but no deal was reached.

Joe Cole has hailed Osimhen’s performance against Tottenham and has claimed the striker was betrayed by his agent.

The former Chelsea star said in an interview with TNT Sports, "There's so many big clubs calling out for a striker.

"I blame Victor Osimhen's agent, as he shouldn't be at Galatasaray; he should be at a top club in Europe.”

Osimhen has been in remarkable form for the Turkish side since his move and also scored a brace against Tottenham last night.

His performance has drawn more attention to top clubs in Europe, with another transfer saga brewing in the next window.

The forward has had a total of ten goal involvements (6 goals, 4 assists) in eight games for Galatasaray this season.
