"Chelsea is Still Home" — Mikel Obi Confirms Osimhen’s Desire for Stamford Bridge Move Amid Galatasaray Heroics
Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel has given the Stamford Bridge faithful a spark of hope as he revealed that Victor Osimhen is still eyeing a dream move to Chelsea — despite enjoying a blistering loan spell at Galatasaray.
Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Mikel disclosed that the Super Eagles striker remains open to a Premier League switch, with Chelsea still firmly on his radar.
“He has options, even now when I talk to him he has options, loads of options,” Mikel said.
“I hope it happens because I can see great things happening. I can see a great partnership happening. I can see a player coming in and becoming a massive legend for this football club.”
🔵 The Chelsea Link That Won’t Fade
Osimhen was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea during the closing stages of the last summer transfer window. But negotiations with Napoli hit a wall, and the deal fell through. He eventually made a surprise switch to Galatasaray on loan, where he has lit up the Turkish Super Lig with a stunning 28 goals in 32 appearances.
Still, it appears the Chelsea dream lives on. Mikel’s comments suggest that while clubs across Europe are circling, Stamford Bridge still holds a special place in Osimhen’s heart.
✍️ Opinion: Osimhen Could Be the Missing Piece Chelsea Needs
Chelsea’s search for a dependable, clinical striker continues. While young options like Liam Delap (who has a £30m clause) are being considered, the Blues need a proven game-changer—and Osimhen fits that bill perfectly.
With his blend of strength, pace, and lethal finishing, Osimhen could revive Chelsea's frontline and offer a long-term solution to their striking woes. Pairing him with the likes of Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández could ignite something special.
Mikel’s endorsement isn’t just a hopeful nod—it's a reminder that Chelsea still has pull, and that true talents still dream of wearing blue.
This summer, Chelsea fans might just get what they’ve been waiting for: a striker who doesn’t just score goals, but inspires belief.
