‘Here we go’ – Victor Osimhen’s former teammate drops Chelsea transfer hint

The football world is abuzz with speculation after Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu hinted at a potential transfer involving Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

The midfielder took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) with a post that has sparked intense rumors about Osimhen’s future: “Osimhen to Chelsea… Here We Go.”

Ogu’s cryptic message, which echoes the phrase popularized by renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, has captured the attention of football fans globally. Known for his close relationship with Osimhen, Ogu’s post has led many to believe that a major transfer announcement could be imminent.

Victor Osimhen, currently with SSC Napoli, has been one of the most in-demand forwards in European football. The 25-year-old striker has impressed with his goal-scoring prowess and dynamic playing style since joining Napoli, making him a target for several top clubs across Europe.

Chelsea FC, who have been actively rebuilding their squad under new ownership and management, have shown keen interest in acquiring Osimhen. The Blues view the Nigerian forward as a key addition to bolster their attacking options, especially as they look to climb back to the top of the Premier League.

However, any potential deal for Osimhen has been complicated by the hefty release clause included in his contract by Napoli, who are reluctant to let their star striker go easily. Despite this, Osimhen has reportedly expressed a desire for a new challenge after helping Napoli secure their first Serie A title in 33 years last season.

While Ogu’s tweet has generated excitement, it’s important to note that there has been no official confirmation from Chelsea, Napoli, or Osimhen himself regarding the transfer.

For now, the football world will have to wait and see if this speculation turns into reality or if it remains just another intriguing rumor in the unpredictable world of football transfers.
