Former Barcelona and Arsenal defensive midfielder, Emmanuel Laurent Petit, has urged Chelsea to go all out for Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker, Victor James Osimhen, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 26-year-old striker is one of the most sought-after attacking prospects in European football, and Chelsea alongside a host of other European clubs are interested in the services of the Napoli loanee.
Petit, who played for Chelsea between 2001 and 2004, admitted Osimhen’s fighting spirit will boost the mood at Stamford Bridge but is sceptical about how the striker’s personality will rub off on the rest of his teammates.

What Petit said about Osimhen
“My concerns with Victor Osimhen would be with his personality and character, it can be a great thing for the team if it fits in, but it can also be difficult in other teams.
“We all know his qualities and what he can bring to the team, he can score goals and bring character, he reminds me of Diego Costa in that sense, he is a fighter. In terms of personality and character, it can be a lot, but he is very versatile, but there might just be better options on the market this summer,” the 54-year-old said in quotes revealed by GOAL.
