Micah Richards thinks Napoli’s Victor Osimhen could end up joining Chelsea in the future.

Victor Osimhen, who’s still only 24, has emerged as one of the world’s top striker in the past couple of years.

So, could we soon see the Napoli frontman ditch Serie A for the Premier League?

TalkSPORT reported earlier this week that Chelsea have set their sights on Osimhen amid his potential fallout with Napoli. This comes after the centre-forward’s agent threatened legal action against the Italian club after they mocked their own player on social media for missing a spot-kick.

We’re not sure what will happen with the striker’s future in the month ahead, but we know it would be fantastic if the Blues can bring him to Stamford Bridge.

Pundit Micah Richards has predicted that Chelsea could be the Napoli talisman’s new home.

When discussing Osimhen, Lineker asked on The Rest Is Football podcast: “Where does he go from here?”

Richards replied: “Chelsea.”

Shearer added: “Newcastle?”

Lineker responded: “You’ve got two strikers, Alan, you’ve got [Alexander] Isak and obviously Callum Wilson. You need another one, do you?”

Shearer said: “Well, I don’t think it would do any harm. When Man United won their treble, they had four if you remember rightly. If he wants a bit of love, then St James’ Park!”

Ally McCoist made comments about Osimhen earlier in the year that should excite Chelsea fans.

McCoist told talkSPORT in March: “I don’t normally stick my neck out, but he’s the nearest I’ve seen to Drogba in a long, long time. He’s physical, quick, aggressive.”

The Daily Mail reported in June that Napoli consider Osimhen to be a £150million-rated striker.

We’ve seen Chelsea throw silly amounts of money around under this ownership, so could they move for yet another marquee name. The main difference this time would be Osimhen could be a game-changer with his goals, though.
