Scott Minto has reacted very positively to speculation that Chelsea want to sign Napoli’s Victor Osimhen this summer.
The Blues are linked with a host of strikers ahead of the summer transfer window, including Napoli frontman Victor Osimhen.
TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook claimed this week that Osimhen is the centre-forward that Chelsea are most keen on bringing to Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, The Daily Mail said back in January that Napoli could demand £100million-plus to sell Osimhen.
It’s easy to see why there’s so much hype around Napoli’s frontman, who’s scored 28 goals in 37 games across all competitions this season. He was a talisman with his 23 league goals to help lift the Serie A title.
TalkSPORT pundit and former Chelsea player Minto admits that Osimhen would be his first-choice pick for the Blues.
“He (Osimhen) would be my number one choice. Harry Kane’s not going there, so he would be my number one choice,” Minto told talkSPORT.
Osimhen looks like everything Chelsea need in a No 9 next season.
The recent history around Stamford Bridge has been so poor when it comes to signing high-profile forward, but surely Osimhen wouldn’t go down the same path of completely flopping.
