“Choose Chelsea!” – Kenneth Omeruo Urges Osimhen to Pick Blues Over Arsenal in Transfer Tug of War

As the summer transfer window heats up, Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo has made a passionate plea to his compatriot, Victor Osimhen, to snub Arsenal and join Chelsea, claiming the Blues offer a better chance of lifting trophies.

In an interview with SportyTV, the former Chelsea defender didn’t mince words:

“Of course Chelsea. Arsenal needs him, but I want him to win trophies. Right now he’s the best striker in the world for me.”

Osimhen, who has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards, is expected to leave Napoli this summer after a stellar run in Italy. With both Arsenal and Chelsea vying for his signature, the Nigerian striker finds himself at a career-defining crossroads.

Interestingly, Osimhen came close to signing for Chelsea last summer, and Omeruo — who previously wore the Chelsea blue — clearly believes it's still the right destination. Meanwhile, Arsenal, coming off another strong Premier League campaign, also presents an attractive option with Champions League football on offer.

💭 Opinion: Osimhen’s Legacy Is Bigger Than One Transfer

Victor Osimhen is not just Nigeria’s pride — he’s a global football force. Whether it's Arsenal or Chelsea, both clubs offer unique perks. Arsenal has the structure, a stable project under Arteta, and an attacking style that could suit Osimhen’s flair. But Chelsea offers rich history, silverware pedigree, and the kind of rebuilding project where Osimhen could be the crown jewel.

Still, what matters most is playing time, winning mentality, and a system that fits his strengths. While Omeruo’s loyalty to Chelsea is understandable, the decision has to be Osimhen’s — one that balances legacy, trophies, and personal development.

Whichever club he chooses, Nigerian fans — and indeed the football world — will be watching with anticipation.
