Former Chelsea midfielder Gianfranco Zola has said that Victor Osimhen would be an ideal signing for the Blues.
News making the rounds is that Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the Nigeria international as the West London club are in need of attacking reinforcement and are keen to sign the Nigerian.
Zola, a Chelsea Legend, has maintained that Osimhen will be a good addition to the Chelsea squad.
“I rate him as one of the top strikers around at the moment, for his energy, for his ability to score and also play with the opposition. I’m sure he can be a success in the Premier League as well for sure,” Zola told Obionepodcast.
“Of course the way, you know for what I see with Chelsea I think a player with this quality will do very well. He will change a lot of things for Chelsea to the positive in my opinion but again as I said I truly believe that it was a right thing to stay again one more year with Napoli.”
“He has done extremely well but what is more important is to confirm what you’ve done the previous year. After you’ve done so well you are tested mentally and with a character, you need to confirm and do even better. I think it will be a good test for him.”
Recall that Osimhen was top scorer in Serie A last season with 26 goals from 32 league appearances, winning the Seria A footballer of the year.
