Primate Ayodele warns Osimhen
Controversial Nigerian prophet Primate Ayodele has issued a warning to the Super Eagles striker to avoid Chelsea as he continues to explore a move away from Napoli.
Ayodele disclosed this in a video message shared on his official X account.
“I want to quickly advise as directly that Osimhen should not go to Chelsea because if he goes there, he will not shine and it will kill his career,” he said.
“NFF, if Osimhen should go to Chelsea, don’t call him again, and also calling him to the Super Eagles still needs to be previewed properly because we have what it takes to the World Cup and Nations Cup.”
According to The Athletic, Chelsea are the only club left in the race for the former Lille striker after Paris Saint-Germain cooled their interest due to failed negotiations with Napoli.
The London club are offering a loan with an option to buy, but the striker is unwilling to accept any loan without a mandatory clause.
