William Gallas, a former Arsenal defender, has made a bold prediction that Victor Osimhen, the prolific Super Eagles striker, will join Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
In an interview with Genting Casino, Gallas expressed his belief that Osimhen’s unique blend of strength and speed will make him a formidable force in the Premier League, drawing comparisons to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
Gallas, who played against Drogba during his time in the Premier League, sees striking similarities between the two strikers. “I think they [Chelsea] will sign Victor Osimhen in the summer,” Gallas stated.
“I don’t know Victor that well as a person, but he’s similar to Drogba. Didier was so strong, but with Osimhen, he is also very quick.” Gallas is convinced that Osimhen’s pace and power will wreak havoc on Premier League defenses, echoing the dominance Drogba once exhibited.
Osimhen’s impressive performances have attracted interest from top European clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Gallas’s endorsement adds weight to the likelihood of Osimhen joining Chelsea, where he would be expected to lead the attack and replicate the success Drogba achieved during his illustrious career at Stamford Bridge.
As the transfer window approaches, fans and pundits alike will be watching with bated breath to see if Gallas’s prediction comes to fruition.
