Chelsea are one of the clubs to have been linked with signing top striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

Osimhen has been linked with a big money move away from Napoli, after excelling in Naples.

However, former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has warned Victor Osimhen that he may be under too much pressure if he signs for Chelsea.

“The birth of the transfer record player became a big deal,” Collymore told CaughtOffside.

“That player, whoever it was, got talked about way beyond whether they were good, bad or indifferent on the pitch. It was always that the record signing would be expected to make the difference which I always thought was very unfair.

“At this point of a window previously, we might’ve expected a number of clubs to be breaking their transfer records but they haven’t, so all of a sudden we’re going back to the sort of mid to late 90s outlier.

“The big-name signing that won’t just entertain us but will also become the poster boy of both his club and the entire Premier League.

“That could well be the case for Victor Osimhen if his rumoured move to Chelsea comes off, because the mind-boggling numbers then put unfair pressure and expectation on him.”
