Former Nigeria captain, John Mikel Obi, has hinted that Chelsea could be back in for Victor Osimhen next year. Mikel Obi, speaking on his podcast, claimed that both sides were very close to reaching an agreement this summer. However, Osimhen has joined Galatasaray on a season-long deal, after his move to Stamford Bridge fell through.
But Mikel Obi insists a transfer could still happen in January or next summer. He said: 'You know, Victor’s a strong character, he’s a bit like Didier Drogba and Diego Costa and that’s something we’re missing at the club, strikers who have that edge, who have that bite who can intimidate defenders and Victor definitely has that.
” On Chelsea rekindling their interest in the next window, Mikel Obi added: “Definitely there are no issues. I think if we have to pick this back up again like I said, whenever it is, January or next summer, we know where we are, we know where we’ve stopped, and it’s just little details that need to be finalised and the deal will be done.'
