£70 million Worldie tipped for big Chelsea move

Florent Malouda has opened up and claimed that if CHELSEA signed Victor Osimhen in the January window, they would be serious challengers for that Premier League title.

We were one of the clubs that were interested, but despite all the speculation and despite all the rumours, a move to Stamford Bridge never happed and now the Napoli star is on loan at Galatasaray for the season.

But that has not stopped speculation that the club could make a move for the player in the January window and Malouda has backed the Blues to make a big move for the Nigerian star: ‘We almost signed Victor Osimhen in the summer, and he is the type of player that would add extra quality to this Chelsea team,’ Malouda told Coin Poker.

‘If there is an opportunity to bring him in in January, then I think the club has to look at it. From what I’ve read, he will cost less than the numbers that were quoted in the summer – the fee is reportedly in the region of £70m.

‘Galatasaray would hate to lose him, but he’s a Napoli player and the noises coming out of Naples recently indicate that her will be available in January.

‘Chelsea should be competing for the world’s best players. Osimhen is in that category.

‘You want to see the club add more quality to its team because that is what every ambitious club does, and his addition would bring Chelsea a step closer to the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal.

‘It seems like the player wants to come to CHELSEA . We’ll see if we can get him, but I would love the club to move for him because a lot of things can happen between now and January.

‘There could be competition to bring him in – I would love to see the club working on a deal for him. Osimhen would be a great addition to the squad.’
