Former Super Eagles midfielder has shared insights on why a potential move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli to Chelsea fell through on deadline day.
Osimhen, who had been linked with Chelsea and other clubs in France and Saudi Arabia, expressed a desire to leave Napoli following a strained relationship with the Italian club. This came after his standout performance in the 2022-23 season, where he emerged as Serie A’s top scorer with 26 goals, helping Napoli secure their first league title in 33 years.
During an episode of his Obi One Podcast, the former midfielder mentioned that Osimhen was on the brink of joining Chelsea in the summer, refuting claims that the collapse of the deal was due to the player’s demands.
