Former Nigeria and Chelsea star John Obi Mikel has revealed his involvement in Chelseas unsuccessful pursuit of striker Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window, Soccernet.ng reports .
Mikel, who was once a key player at Stamford Bridge, opened up on the behind-the-scenes drama that saw the Blues miss out on their top target.
Chelsea, known for their aggressive recruitment approach, made several signings this summer, including Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix, and Pedro Neto.
However, despite strengthening their attack, the club failed to secure a proven striker - most notably, Osimhen.
The Nigerian striker, currently one of Europe's hottest properties, was at the centre of intense speculation, with Chelsea pushing hard to bring him to London on deadline day.
