William Gallas, a former Chelsea defender, has expressed his optimism about the possibility of Victor Osimhen joining the club, comparing him to legendary striker Didier Drogba. Gallas believes Osimhen’s strength and speed will have a huge impact in the Premier League. Reports suggest Osimhen has decided to leave Napoli at the end of the season, and in a recent interview, he hinted at having made up his mind about his next move. Despite interest from other clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea appears to be the frontrunner for Osimhen’s signature.
Osimhen’s relationship with Napoli has deteriorated this season, marked by injuries, uneven performances, and a controversial missed penalty kick. Despite his challenges, Osimhen remains a prolific goal-scorer, having netted 31 goals in 39 appearances last season, helping Napoli win their first Serie A title in over three decades. His contributions in the Champions League were also significant, leading Napoli to the quarterfinals.
However, this season, injuries have limited Osimhen’s playing time and goal-scoring ability, raising concerns about his physical fitness. As the transfer window approaches, Chelsea and other potential suitors are closely monitoring the situation. Osimhen’s future remains uncertain, but his talent and potential make him a highly sought-after striker in the Premier League and Europe.
