Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has urged Chelsea to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who has scored 19 goals in just 20 Serie A games this season.

“If I was Chelsea, I would go for Victor Osimhen over the likes of Marcus Thuram,” former Blues midfielder Emmanuel Petit told Goal.

“You know there is a striker’s curse at Chelsea but someday this will be broken and he could do it.

“If Chelsea can bring in Victor Osimhen, that would be very good for them. He reminds me of Didier Drogba somewhat. He certainly possesses the same qualities as him.”
