Chelsea Should Sign Osimhen in January, Malouda Advises
Former Chelsea player Florent Malouda urges the club to prioritize signing Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window to boost their attack.
Florent Malouda has encouraged Chelsea to make another attempt to sign Victor Osimhen when the transfer window opens in January.
Chelsea nearly secured the signing of the Nigeria international over the summer but were unable to agree to his demands.
Osimhen subsequently moved to Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray on loan from Napoli.
Nevertheless, Malouda emphasized that the Blues ought to make another attempt to sign the powerful striker during the winter transfer window.
Malouda mentioned to Coin Poker, “We came close to signing Victor Osimhen during the summer. He is exactly the kind of player who would enhance the quality of this Chelsea team.”
“If there’s a chance to sign him in January, I believe the club should consider it. Based on what I’ve read, his cost will be lower than the figures mentioned during the summer—it’s reportedly around £70 million.”
