According to the former Chelsea midfielder, he will do everything humanly possible to ensure the deal go through. The former Trabzonspor playmaker wasted no time to tell Osimhen that Chelsea fans have eagerly waited for his arrival at the London club.
“Next season, I know you’re gonna come to Chelsea man!” Mikel was quoted by journalist Fabrizio Romano.
“I’m telling you, I’m gonna be the agent to broker that deal”.
“I’m gonna make sure that happens. We are crying out for someone like you — since Drogba left the club.”
Recall, the 26-year-old forward, had earlier confessed his love for Chelsea legend Didier Drogba. According to Victor, Drogba was his Idol, and he can’t wait to meet and get a signed Jersey from him.
“Drogba would forever be my idol and I’m so grateful to him,” Osimhen told the Caf website.
“Choosing him as a role model has really been helpful since my years growing up.
“I have not met him yet and I’m really looking forward to seeing him and getting one of his signed jerseys; that would really be a dream come true for me.”
In another story, Mikel acknowledged that the FIFA U-17 Golden Boot winner, share some striking similarities with Drogba.
