The Chelsea Legend has given the Blues the go-ahead to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
After a disappointing turnout from Romelu Lukaku who was signed to solve the Blues' striking problems, Chelsea opted for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon International has also been a mere shadow of himself, netting thrice in 17 games.
Chelsea Legend, Zola believes Victor Osimhen is the right man to solve all of Chelsea's problems upfront.
“Chelsea would have a lot of competition [for Osimhen’s signature]." Zola said as quoted by Football.London
“He’s a complete player. He’s a pest. I don’t know what is going to happen. We will see. I think the task in the Premier League would be different to the Italian league.”
Since the resumption of the season after the World Cup, Chelsea have scored just six goals in 10 games in all competitions. Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has outscored Graham Potter’s men by three goals in the league.
Now, those are not great readings for a club that aspires to challenge for the biggest trophies in the world. With the way the club has spent money in the last two transfer windows, they would expect to win silverware sooner rather than later.
Amidst all the creative players in the squad, Chelsea do lack a finisher in the box. Osimhen can do that and much more. The 24-year-old has scored 18 goals and assisted four in 22 appearances in all competitions for Napoli. He is currently leading the Italian side to a Scudetto win in style.
Not only is he a striker who is lethal in the opposition box, but Osimhen can also run the channels, hold the ball up, be physically strong against defenders and has the pace to burn and trouble the opposition teams at will. He would be a perfect signing for Chelsea. Let’s wait and see if we manage to get him in the summer.
Victor Osimhen is believed to cost £100M and if Chelsea should consider a move for him, they will face stiff competition from Manchester United and PSG.
