Victor Osimhen is one of the most coveted strikers ahead of the summer transfer window, and Chelsea look set to try their luck on signing the Napoli star
Jose Mourinho has told Victor Osimhen what he must do in order to wrap up a move to the Premier League. The 24-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Napoli with a handful of top European clubs reportedly chasing his signature – one of which is Chelsea.
"I’d buy him if I was at a club with a lot of money. However, if he does go to England one day, he needs to change, because in Italy they put up with this sort of behaviour, whereas in the Premier League, they’d come down hard on him."
While Glen Johnson agrees that Osimhen is an 'exciting talent', the former Chelsea defender claimed that the Nigerian has not yet done enough to earn comparisons to Drogba. In an interview with Lord Ping, he said: "Victor Osimhen is currently scoring at an alarming rate - he is currently shy of a goal per game, which is something you cannot ignore.
"It's hard to compare him to Drogba, Drogba was a beast for Chelsea! He was fast, strong and had good technical ability in the Premier League. Osimhen is an exciting talent who knows where the goal is. If he can adapt, he will thrive in the Premier League."
