Former Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi says he would do his best to see Victor Osimhen signed into the London club.

The former Super Eagles captain, in a video posted on X, added that another club legend, Didier Drogba, was also in contact with the Napoli striker, as they hoped to convince him to make a switch to Stamford Bridge.

Osimhen’s future remains the subject of intense viral speculations ahead of the final weeks of the summer transfer window.

The striker has asked to leave Napoli and has been linked with a transfer to Chelsea in a deal that would see Romelu Lukaku move the other way.

Just a few weeks before the close of the transfer window, Mikel revealed that he would try and help the club land their primary target, which he believed would be an instant hit in the English Premier League.
