Chelsea told not to sign African star next season

Chelsea have been urged not to sign Napoli and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen next season.

The Blues have been linked with a number of strikers ahead of the new season to help find a suitable number nine for Mauricio Pochettino.

Osimhen has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in recent months, with the player heavily tipped to leave Napoli at the end of the currrent season.

Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes the club don't need to sign another striker due to the amount of players already signed.

"I don't think Chelsea need Gyokeres or Osimhen. With Chelsea, there are so many players who are not playing to their level and can do so much more. I think Nicolas Jackson is one of them," Petit told Genting Casino.

"He's got lots of potential and has shown it in glimpses but needs to do more. I think Caicedo needs to too and so does the Argentine midfielder, Enzo (Fernandez).

"There are many players who don't play the way they should, there's no confidence, they're lost on the pitch - and it's the same with Jackson. He's struggling as the team is struggling.

"He's not the type to dribble past four or five defenders and score, he's not like that, but when Chelsea improve as a team, he will improve. That's why I don't think Chelsea need to sign a striker - they need to stop spending so much."
