Victor Osimhen Desperate for Chelsea Move as Ademola Lookman Nears Premier League Switch

Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are two of the most exciting names in world football right now, but it seems their futures could take very different paths. While Osimhen reportedly has his heart set on joining one particular Premier League club, Lookman’s incredible form may see him secure a massive move first.

Victor Osimhen’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. After leading Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years during the 2022/23 season with 26 league goals, the Nigerian striker quickly became one of Europe’s hottest properties.

However, instead of sealing a blockbuster transfer to the Premier League, Osimhen made a surprise move to Galatasaray in Turkey. According to Nigerian captain William Troost-Ekong, the 25-year-old still dreams of playing in England and has a particular club in mind.

“I can confirm that Victor is a Chelsea fan,” Troost-Ekong revealed. “He’s desperate to play for them, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a move happens soon. He’s a natural leader and one of the most feared strikers in the world.”

Osimhen’s passion for the game and his relentless work ethic make him a prized asset. Troost-Ekong added: “Victor gives 100% in every game. He turns half-chances into goals and never stops running. He’s the kind of player Chelsea would love to have, and I think he’d thrive in the Premier League.”

With Chelsea’s attack struggling for consistency, Osimhen could be the solution the Blues need to fire them back to the top.

While Osimhen dreams of Stamford Bridge, his teammate Ademola Lookman is already attracting interest from Europe’s biggest clubs. The Atalanta forward has been in sensational form, scoring 11 goals in just 12 games this season.

Lookman’s performances have been so good that Troost-Ekong believes he’s now the best player in Africa. “Ademola is on fire,” he said. “At AFCON, he was incredible, and this season he’s taken his game to another level. He’s arguably the best player in Africa right now.”

The 26-year-old, who scored a hat-trick in the Europa League final to lead Atalanta to glory, has been linked with several top clubs. Troost-Ekong hinted that Lookman could be on the move soon: “After his performances last season and this year, it’s only a matter of time before he joins a top team. If I were a big club, I’d sign him immediately.”

Despite Osimhen’s ambitions, Lookman’s rapid rise might see him land a Premier League move first. Clubs in England are reportedly monitoring the Atalanta star closely, with his consistent goal-scoring and creativity making him a prime target.

For Osimhen, the January transfer window could present an opportunity to finally join Chelsea, where his talent and leadership could transform the club’s fortunes. However, Lookman’s form might push him to the Premier League even sooner.

With both players delivering world-class performances, the future of Nigerian football looks brighter than ever. Whether it’s Osimhen lighting up the Premier League or Lookman dazzling at a top club, fans can expect to see these two stars dominate the global stage for years to come.
