  • Chelsea on Tuesday night, 2 May, suffered another defeat in the Premier League losing against Arsenal
  • Tottenham-trained Nigerian coach Folabi Ojekunle has now enjoined the Blues chiefs to spend and sign Osimhen
  • Osimhen is however wanted by many clubs in Europe with the likes of Manchester United and PSG interested

Former Kogi United gaffer Folabi Ojekunle has exclusively disclosed to Sports Brief that Chelsea would have to try their best and get the signature of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen this summer.

This comes after the Blues on Tuesday night, 2 May, suffered another defeat this time around against their London rivals Arsenal which ended 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Ojekunle who watched the encounter live in London explained that he was not happy with the display of Chelsea players claiming that they lack the zeal to soar.

He also blamed the club's eggheads for hiring Frank Lampard adding that they should have gone for more experienced gaffer.

Chelsea needs Victor Osimhen

According to Folabi Ojekunle, he claimed that Chelsea needs a strong striker like Osimhen for them to bounce back next term.

''This is the worst Chelsea team I have watched in the past 20 years and it was so disappointing that they keep making their fans sad. They should try and get Osimhen this summer for them to get them goals next season.''

Osimhen has been impressive this season at Napoli and the Nigerian is the one topping the goalscoring chart.

Five things we learned from Chelsea's loss

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Arsenal got their feint title hopes back on track with an emphatic win against Chelsea at the Emirates.

The Gunners snapped their three-game winless run with a statement win against the struggling Blues, helping the north London club usurp Manchester City at the summit of the league table, albeit temporarily.

A second-half strike from Noni Madueke did little to change the destiny of the game after a Martin Odegaard double and a goal from Gabriel Jesus handed the home side a deserved 3-1 win, returning to winning ways.
