Super Eagles midfielder confirmed Victor Osimhen's transfer to Chelsea

Chelsea has confirmed Victor Osimhen's move from SSC Napoli, according to a Super Eagles midfielder. A fellow Nigerian international's social media post has heightened rumors regarding Victor Osimhen possibly joining Chelsea FC. John Ogu, a midfielder for the Super Eagles, posted something on Twitter that has caused a stir in the football community.

Football enthusiasts have taken notice of this surprising statement because of Ogu's alleged acquaintance with Osimhen and his use of the term made popular by prominent transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. Since joining Napoli, the 25-year-old striker from Nigeria has been a star performance for the Italian team.

Several elite clubs are reportedly interested in hiring him due to his dynamic play style and remarkable goal scoring record, which has made him one of the most sought-after attackers in European football. Ever since the African Footballer of the Year told Napoli of his intention to depart this summer, Chelsea has shown a strong interest in him. The signing of a top-tier striker like Osimhen would surely strengthen the Blues' offensive options as they actively rebuild their team under new ownership and management.

Although Ogu's post has undoubtedly increased enthusiasm among Chelsea supporters and Nigerian football enthusiasts, Osimhen, Napoli, and the Premier League team have not confirmed this potentially blockbuster transfer. Until then, this is still an interesting speculative piece that emphasizes how capricious the football transfer market can be. In the meantime, Napoli has already turned its focus to another striker who is eligible for Nigeria as a potential alternative, as the Victor Osimhen transfer story enters a new phase in response to Ogu's remark. Antonio Conte, the new manager, is seeking a quick fix for his attacking issue after a rough start to life at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium due to the injury of star forward Osimhen.

Since Osimhen is anticipated to go this summer, Napoli has reportedly looked to Samu Omorodion of Atletico Madrid, a 20-year-old who is qualified to represent the Super Eagles, as a potential successor to the unsatisfied club icon.
