Former Super Eagles midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has revealed some of the details of his text message exchange with Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen.
Mikel Obi is trying to convince his fellow compatriot to move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
The Blues have tried to negotiate a swap deal with Napoli involving Romelu Lukaku.
But since that did not work out, the two clubs are conducting the deals for Osimhen and Lukaku as separate transfers.
Obi Mikel has now spoken about the chances of Osimhen moving to Chelsea.
“I think it’s 60/40 in favour that Osimhen comes. I think so, he wants to come.
“I sent a few text messages here and there, told him that is a great club and city.
“He would like to follow in the foot steps of other Nigerians to play for Chelsea,” Obi Mikel said on beIN Sports.
