O’Rourke: Chelsea target Victor Osimhen “ticks a lot of boxes”

Chelsea target Victor Osimhen “ticks a lot of boxes” for the west London side.

That is according to journalist Pete O’Rourke who has informed GIVEMESPORT of the Blues’ interest in the £58.5million Napoli striker.

The journalist is confident that the Nigerian would be a success in the Premier League, labelling the star as “powerful, strong [and] fast.”

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, O’Rourke said: “He’s a prolific goalscorer in the Champions League for Napoli as well as in Serie A. I think Osimhen has got the attributes to be a big success in the Premier League.

“He’s powerful, strong, fast and he obviously knows where the goal is. For Chelsea, he ticks a lot of boxes.”

Ticks a lot of boxes

O’Rourke is correct with his latest Osimhen-Chelsea admission.

The star would no doubt be a success in the Premier League, having quite emphatically gone four straight seasons hitting double scoring figures across three different leagues.

As such, adaptation period is almost none existent for the Nigerian, having scored 19 goals during his solitary domestic season in Belgium, 13 in his one Ligue 1 season and a combined 24 in his first two Serie A seasons with Napoli, having hit ten in the first and 14 in the second.

The 23-year-old is on track to carry that wondrous goalscoring feat on, with his four goals in seven Serie A appearances a sign of further things to come.

Osimhen’s presence as a target man for Chelsea would be felt by Graham Potter and co, with his dynamism through the middle sure to bring a different dimension to the Blues’ attack.
