A Nigerian church leader has urged Napoli striker Victor Osimhen against a transfer to Chelsea this summer.
Osimhen is pushing to leave Napoli this summer and has held talks with Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea over potential transfers in the current window.
Chelsea are understood to have held ‘positive talks’ with Napoli over a deal this week, in a transfer that could see Romelu Lukaku head to the Italian side in part-exchange.
Osimhen has been vocal in his desire to move to the Premier League in the past and has cited former Chelsea favourite Didier Drogba as a role model.
However, not everyone is convince that Stamford Bridge is the right step for Nigeria’s star striker with a church leader in the nation warning Osimhen against a move to West London.
In the clip, he warns Osimhen ‘will not shine’ at Chelsea and says the transfer will ‘kill the career’ of the Super Eagles star.
Watch the full warning below.
