Victor Osimhen, the prolific Nigerian forward currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has reignited discussions about his long-standing admiration for Chelsea.
Despite a turbulent summer transfer window that didn’t yield his desired ‘big move,’ the 25-year-old continues to prove his worth, boasting an impressive tally of 10 goals and five assists in just 13 appearances this season.
Osimhen’s enduring affinity for the Blues has been affirmed by Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong, who revealed in an interview with talkSPORT: “I can tell you he’s a Chelsea fan, I can confirm that.” The Super Eagles skipper praised Osimhen’s relentless work ethic, leadership qualities, and knack for turning half-chances into goals.
While the speculation around a possible Premier League switch remains rife, Osimhen’s performances ensure he stays on the radar of top clubs. As Chelsea continues to rebuild, the thought of Osimhen donning the iconic blue jersey is tantalizing for fans who dream of a clinical finisher leading their attack. For Osimhen, it seems the dream of Stamford Bridge still burns bright.
