Eniola Aluko to Chelsea: ‘Sign Osimhen, the guy at Napoli. Brilliant. Next Drogba, just sign him’
Former Chelsea women forward Eniola Aluko has urged the west London side to move quaickly and sign Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen ahead of Manchester United.
The former England international believes Osimhen would be the perfect player to help Graham Potter’s misfiring Blues having scored 21 goals in 24 matches for Napoli this season.
Aluko told talkSPORT: “I care more about them signing a striker. I am desperate for Chelsea to sign a striker.
“Sign Osimhen, the guy at Napoli. Brilliant. Next Drogba, just sign him.
“Potter will be in the job until the end of the season but for me, with all the money that’s been spent, Chelsea need a striker. [Kai] Havertz, I know he scored the winning goal in the Champions League final, but I still don’t think he’s enough.
“I still don’t think he’s enough for us going forward. We need a striker who is going to score 20-plus goals a season, so get Osimhen.”
Aluko’s plea is coming on the heels of that of a former Manchester United forward, Odion Ighalo who has urged his Nigerian compatriot to sign for the Red Devils and form a deadly partnership with Marcus Rashford.
