Chelsea are reportedly deploying help from former players and fellow countrymen, John Mikel Obi and Didier Drogba in last ditch attempt to secure the signature of Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
With Nigeria international reluctant about the idea of joining Chelsea because they are not in the Champions League, the English Premier League side according to Times Sport, are enlisting the support of both Mikel and Drogba.
“I hope that Chelsea fans will finally see him come to the club,” said Mikel. “I’ll make sure I send him those text messages and calls, making sure Chelsea is his top priority. “But it seems like he loves the club and wants to come to Chelsea. I’m sure he has all the big clubs wanting to sign him. I think if we can secure his signature it would be fantastic for the club.
“Didier is also speaking to him, sharing his own ideas and what the club means to us. We all want to see Victor come to the club. If it happens, it happens. It’s a huge transfer fee, but if we can match it and get him to the club that would be absolutely.”
