Former Super Eagles and Chelsea star Mikel Obi has assured fans that he working to see that Victor Osimhen becomes a Chelsea player. Mikel joked about being Osimhen’s “agent” during and said he’s pushing him to snub Man Utd & Paris Saint Germain to follow in his footsteps.

Mikel said at the Web Summit Qatar: “I think there’s genuine interest between both (Chelsea and Osimhen). I think he loves the club, he wants to come to the club, obviously he wants to follow in my footsteps as a Nigerian player who has played for Chelsea, like Victor Moses, Celestine Babayaro, there’s not a lot of us. London as well, a fantastic city, instead of going to Liverpool or places like that, you want to live in London. But he also has a lot of interest, like PSG, Man United, but I’m still pushing, sending him messages, trying to make sure he doesn’t expect too much, just narrow your mind on one club: The Blues!”

Asked if he is acting as “agent Mikel”, he replied: “I am. I am pushing him. I hope he comes to the club, because he will bring so much to the club. I think the one thing we lack, anybody who watched the [Carabao Cup] final on Sunday will see the one thing we are lacking is scoring goals. We need that striker who will score goals. That’s what Victor will give you. He’s not the most skilful guy but goals, definitely a guarantee.”
