Mikel Obi wants Osimhen at Chelsea

“I think when I look back at him a few years ago, i'd say no, but now, watching him last season and watching him this season, I would say definitely.

 “He would come into the Premier League and slot right in. He will get you goals, he will run behind defenders, he will stretch the team. 

"I think that’s what probably a lot of the teams now in the Premier League are looking for; a striker who wants to run behind the defenders because then it helps the team, and i hope he comes to Chelsea” Mikel said.
