In as much as this will be for me the perfect club for Osimhen.. I really don’t think these clubs are really after him. If you go to all these clubs news that are “Apparently” chasing Osimhen not one of them has him as a 1st,2nd, or even 3rd option of players to buy. for instance Chelsea in Question here are actually chasing Rafhinia and Dembele they do not even mention Osimhen due to his Price Tag. Osimhen should just stay in Napoli and prove his metal in the Champions league and allow all these English Clubs to keep chasing their mediocre options.
With all due RESPECT to OSIHME,(cos am a big FAN) I don’t THINK he is the type of PLAYER that CHELSEA needs right now…
An AMBITIOUS CLUB like CHELSEA should go for an ESTABLISHED STRIKER like LEWY that can GUARANTEE 30-40+ GOALS a SEASON
Not a work in PROGRESS or UNFINISHED PRODUCT like OSIHME…
ARSENAL is the PERFECT place for OSIHME….
And you think Lewy would score close to 40 in a premier league?The German league is not as competitive as the premiership,so scoring that numbers is near impossible.
We can never know where is best for who.Just like we don’t get predictions right most of the times otherwise the betting companies will sink.
Of course na GREENTURF…
Stop OVERHYPING PREMIER LEAGUE Jooh..
If SALAH can be SCORING 30+ in all COMPETITION for LIVERPOOL Every season while won’t ALMIGHTY LEWY come up with 40??
And besides that was why I said 30 to 40+ GOALS. I never said He must be HITTING 40+
I Don’t think he fit for it oh, blues no need this type
