Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi has said it will be sad if the Blues fail to sign Victor Osimhen this summer.
Enzo Maresca’s side moved for the 26-year-old last summer, but were unable to meet up with his wage demands.
Mikel instead joined Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray on loan.
The London club are reportedly not interested in following up with their interest in the striker this summer.
Mikel said it is important for Chelsea to sign the striker.
“Listen, it will be really sad if we don’t get a player who supported us a kid and wants to play for this Football Club,” he said on Obione podcast.
“His idol is Drogba, he will want to break records, win us trophies, get us back to the top, come for Drogba’s records. I’m telling you that would be his mission.
“If the club chose not to pursue it.. then well fair enough, good luck to them, but the good thing about it is we know where we left it, we can literally pick the phone up and get him straight in the door. Get him in!
