Portuguese issues statement on Chelsea decision on signing world class star in January

Osimhen

Jose Fonte has slammed CHELSEA over their failure to sign ‘the next Didier Drogba’ Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window, as the Blues failed to make that big signing fans really wanted.

Nicolas Jackson works hard for Enzo Maresca and does put in the good performances every now and then, but many fans were hoping that a new striker was going to make the move to London in the January window, and Osimhen was a player linked with a move to the Blues.

Obviously the club didnt even make a move for Osimhen, and now Former Crystal Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Portugal defender Fonte feels we may come to regret not securing a deal for Osimhen.

‘Chelsea are crying out for a striker like Victor Osimhen,’ Fonte told BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League betting. ‘Look at CHELSEA and all the greats they have had up front. As a striker he could be another Didier Drogba for them, he is a winner.

‘They have a different style of play and Drogba is a legend, but he has pace, power and technical quality. He wins his duels and is such a handful for defenders.’

Fonte added: ‘When I saw Victor Osimhen go to Galatasaray, I thought it was foolish that no Premier League club had signed him.

‘Once Osimhen gets into the Premier League I think he will bully defenders, he is aggressive, fast, clever and powerful. ‘I played against him in the Champions League and I’m sure he took it easy on me as a friend at almost 40, but it was still a nightmare.

‘He’s a player that has been a hardworking kid, that came from nothing, as a grafter, and all the success that he’s having, he deserves it.

‘I can’t wait to see him in the Premier League because he’s one of those guys that you want to see against the very best.

‘You want to see him in the Premier League week in and week out and we will see that this is where he belongs.’
