Former Super Eagles player John Ogu has hinted that Victor Osimhen may have already decided on his next club amidst ongoing transfer speculation. The 25-year-old Napoli striker has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and teams from Saudi Arabia.
Chelsea is reportedly leading the race to sign Osimhen, with rumors of a potential deal involving Romelu Lukaku heading to Napoli. On Thursday, Ogu took to social media, posting on his X page: “Osimhen to Chelsea… Here we go!!!” This post has fueled speculation that a move to Stamford Bridge might be imminent.
Football transfer expert Ben Jacobs has noted that while Osimhen has options, Chelsea appears to be his most likely destination if he leaves Napoli. Despite signing a new contract with Napoli last December, Osimhen could depart this summer, with reports suggesting the club has agreed to let him go for a release clause of €130 million.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is said to be keen on securing a new number 9 before the transfer window closes, with Osimhen being his top target. Although Chelsea’s interest seems strong, Arsenal has also been linked with a potential move for the Nigerian forward.
As the transfer deadline approaches, the situation remains fluid, but Ogu’s social media hint suggests that a decision might have already been made.
