Victor Osimhen ‘leads Chelsea’s three-man shortlist’ ahead January transfer window

Chelsea have reportedly ‘made Victor Osimhen a priority target’ with the Napoli striker said to be open to joining them.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side has now prepared a three-man shortlist of options to bolster their forward line.

It is Osimhen who the Blues want most according to the Evening Standard.

This comes after Chelsea and Super Eagles legend, John Obi Mikel convinced Victor Osimhen to join Chelsea next season.

Speaking in the latest episode of his podcast, The Obi One, which had Victor Osimhen as a guest, Mikel told the Napoli striker that he is ”going be the agent to broker that deal’ with his former club to sign him.

The former Chelsea midfielder told Osimhen that he was ‘100% coming to Chelsea’ in a bid to lure the striker to the Premier League giants.

It’s not the time to go to Saudi,’ Mikel explained to Osimhen after the striker revealed he had received offers from the Middle East.
