VICTOR OSIMHEN WANTS TO SIGN FOR CHELSEA

In today's Chelsea news update, George Benson breaks down the latest transfer stories involving two potentially game-changing signings for the Blues: Mike Maignan and Victor Osimhen. With Maignan potentially available due to his contract situation at AC Milan and Osimhen continuously linked with a Premier League move, could Chelsea finally fix two of their most crucial issues — the goalkeeper and striker positions? George gives his thoughts on whether Djordje Petrović should be Chelsea’s number one next season or if Maignan is worth investing in. He also reacts to John Obi Mikel's comments about Osimhen wanting to break Didier Drogba’s Chelsea records and why a move makes so much sense for all parties involved.

Also discussed: the possible swap deal involving Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Jadon Sancho, and Carney Chukwuemeka, and how Chelsea can approach the upcoming transfer window — especially if a transfer ban is handed down due to past FFP breaches. With Champions League qualification and squad building hanging in the balance, this summer could be one of the most pivotal windows in Chelsea's recent history.

Between Delap (£40m) and Osimhen (£62m), Osimhen is the exact profile we need. This guy carried Napoli to a league title and became the man that enabled his wingers to flourish. Osimhen is an elite striker and could finish from anywhere in the box. The only thing that is stopping him from joining is his wage which is completely justified. Osimhen is in his prime and why tf would he take a paycut? Just get rid of Nkunku and Sterling. Both of them are on £195k and £215k p/w respectively and then offer Osimhen the same wage as Reece which is £250k p/w.

If we go into next season with Maignan and Osimhen in the squad we’re straight away competing for the Prem and Champions league if we qualify, we go in with Petrovic and Delap we’re competing for an FA cup

Striker combo of big Victor and Nico is niiiice

[Cloud.]

I'd be happy with just Petrovic and Oshimen in summer. That's it. I think we have enough otherwise. Get rid of Sancho and Nkunku.

[PesMastrLeague]

Osimhen
Petrovic / Maignan
A. Santos
CB
Estevao & Paez incoming

Sorted.

[marcuss.]

Bro i think u r wrong. Im a Ac Milan fan and chelsea. I love those clubs. I would not buy Maignan. U could have potencially the Onana situation at chelsea. Just bring back petrovic and make him the best goalkeeper in the league. Dont spend money on a goalkeeper when we have Petrovich. We need a world class Striker and a world class defender. Petrovic was already good at chelsea before the loan. Chelsea made a mistake loaning him

[katlegokhotsholo]

No one should criticise you brother . Your on point

[bengrace]

Petrovic and Oshimen is a perfect way to start next season 👌

[Yusuf-lcho]

Osimhen Should be given what he wants. He is the Man we need if we want to go to the next level. If we dilly dally again, goodluck to us.

[ikomihilary]

Spot on analysis on your striker option .

[olusegunjoshua]

Just imagine Jackson playing at left side & Oshimen the striker! CFC will be on 🔥🔥🔥

[TimKelbie]

We can’t neglect how important it is to have a world class player who actually wants to play for the club, makes his salary even more worth it

[rowlandezeani]

Not with Maresca at the helm.... We need a proven and experienced coach who has coached at the highest levels of European club football in his career.

[MikeStriker]

Wage demands shouldnt be an excuse from the owners or board as we have about 6 keepers we can sell, Chilwell, Disasi, KDH, Chukwumeka, Felix Ugochukwu, Nkunku, Sancho, Mudryk, Sterling Broja, Datro Fofana & Washington. These players can easily be sold to save on the wage bill & trim down the squad numbers. Then we can easily fund the transfer fees & wages for Oshimen, Jonathan David, Loic Bade & Gittens or Eze

Cheers George I really hope Chelsea can get OSIMHEN in summer petrovic class no 1 for Chelsea

[ChimazuruEhujuo]

If Chelsea doesn't sign Osimhen, well, their suffering will still continue...

[lecture]

I feel like if we end up signing Liam Delap, he'll end up having the most bang on average performance and by the end of the season people would have wished we got a top class striker instead.

[Grecians]

My concern is we address squad issues but Maresca not good enough

[ikomihilary]

With a prokifuc striker like Osimhen the values of Enzo, Palmer, caicedo and neto can only sower . It is a win win for all.

[motygrusman]

in the past we bought Shevchenko, Torres, Morata, Anelka and maybe few more who were supposed to score for fun, but they didn't. Arsenal bought the forward who was very little known, and he doesnt stop scoring. We have Nkunku and he is a much better player than he is now. Maybe it's about the coach and very boring style of playing, just like Atletico Madrid. Full of superstars and yet struggling. Talking about Atletico Madrid. Obliak, is what we need
