Former French international, Florent Malouda has urged Premier League club, Chelsea to bring Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen to Stamford Bridge, saying he’ll be an excellent signing.
The former Blues winger made a case for Osimhen recently while speaking with Racing Tipster.
Chelsea are in the market for a new striker following another underwhelming campaign by Senegal international Nicolas Jackson.
Osimhen is among the strikers on the Premier League giants’ radar.
The powerful striker was close to moving to Chelsea last season but the transfer fell through due to his wage demands.

Malouda, while comparing Osimhen with past African stars, said he would love to see the Nigerian international at Chelsea next season.
He said, “The [Osimhen] links with Chelsea are strong. We’ve had brilliant African footballers in the past, and Osimhen can be the next generation of African players at Chelsea.
“I would love to see him join the club. I think he would be an excellent signing. I also think he would help someone like Nicolas Jackson improve.”
Malouda went on to claim Osimhen will score plenty of goals for Enzo Maresca’s side.
“We [Chelsea] need a striker that scores 20 or more a season. Osimhen is the kind of player who can do that,” he added.
