ESPN expert and former Super Eagles media officer Colin Udoh, who thinks the striker would be a better fit at Chelsea, issued the warning to the player.

He urged the striker to relocate to London, saying that the Blues had been kind to players of Nigerian heritage.

“Chelsea, interestingly, have been really good to Nigerian players,” Udoh said on ESPN FC Extra Time.

“Celestine Babayaro has been there, did great; John Mikel Obi went there and did great and Mike Emenalo even when he wasn’t a player was there and did good. His son is even now being fast-tracked to the youth ranks at Chelsea.

“I think Chelsea will be a great place for Victor Osimhen. The one place I wouldn’t like to see him go no matter what happens or no matter how much money they give him is Manchester United.”

Even though Osimhen signed a new deal that will last until the summer of 2026, he could still depart Napoli next summer.

Real Madrid is looking for a headline striker for the upcoming season, and he has been linked to moves to Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.

Osimhen is presently playing for the senior men’s national team of Nigeria, who has advanced to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) round of 16.

When the Super Eagles take against the Indomitable Lions on Saturday, he is anticipated to be at the front of the line.
