Transfer: Makelele advises Chelsea to sign Osimhen this summer
Former Chelsea midfielder, Claude Makelele has suggested that his former club sign Victor Osimhen.
The Blues are in need of more firepower upfront following another underwhelming campaign.
Senegal international Nicolas Jackson has shouldered goal-scoring responsibilities for the West London club for the past two seasons.
Jackson has scored 26 goals in 68 appearances for Chelsea.
Enzo Maresca’s side is expected to sign a new striker at the end of the current campaign.
Makelele, who was on the books of Chelsea for five years declared that he would love to see Osimhen at the Stamford Bridge.
“He (Osimhen) is a finisher. I think for the way Chelsea plays, they need this kind of striker to have a presence in the box,” he told talkSPORT.
“I think he will be the best option for Chelsea.”
Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray has recorded 26 goals and five assists in 30 appearances across all competitions for the Yellow and Reds.
