Chelsea have been tipped to sign Nigeria and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen before the transfer window closes.
Indeed, Chelsea legend William Gallas has made an impassioned plea to his former club, urging them to sign the prolific Napoli striker before it is too late.
Thus, Gallas strongly believes that Osimhen would be a game-changing addition to the Chelsea squad, capable of taking the team to new heights.
The Blues have been consistently linked with the Nigeria international, with a loan deal with an option to buy reportedly being discussed between Napoli and Chelsea last month.
Gallas begs Chelsea to sign Victor Osimhen
With the London club set to complete a move for Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion, Gallas fears they may miss out on the opportunity to sign the Nigerian.
« In the same way as Didier Drogba, Victor Osimhen can take Chelsea to the next level “, Gallas stressed in an interview with Genting Casino.
« Looking at what he did with Napoli, leading them to the title, he could do the same with Chelsea.
The club needs a striker, and I don’t know what they’re waiting for. ” added William Gallas.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are advancing negotiations to sign Wolves winger Pedro Neto for a reported £55m (€60m) as Enzo Maresca looks to build a squad capable of competing at the top of the Premier League.
