Former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel has revealed that the club was close to signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli and could pursue the deal again in January. Chelsea’s attempt to acquire Osimhen fell short due to minor issues and time constraints as the transfer window closed.

Mikel, speaking on the Obi One Podcast, expressed confidence that Chelsea could secure the striker in the future. “We were very close to finalizing the deal. It was just minor issues that prevented us from completing it,” Mikel said. “If we revisit this in January or next summer, we know what needs to be addressed.”

Osimhen ultimately joined Galatasaray on loan for the 2024-25 season. Mikel remains optimistic that Chelsea can overcome the obstacles that prevented the transfer and bring Osimhen to Stamford Bridge in the upcoming window.
