Chelsea board told absolute goal-machine worth£60M should be at Stamford Bridge

Gabby Agbonlahor has opened up and claimed that Chelsea should have signed Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen over Liam Delap, who has failed to impress during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Delap turned down an approach from Manchester United to sign for CHELSEA for £30million last summer, but has not made the impact that many would have liked as the big striker has scored two goals in 21 appearances in all competitions, with injuries and the form of Joao Pedro limiting his game time even further this season.

And after his struggling performance against Arsenal in the Carabao cup, former Aston Villa striker Agbonlahor believes that his move to Chelsea is not working and Chelsea should have signed long-term target Osimhen.

Osimhen is regarded as one of the best finishers in the game, and Chelsea were heavily keen on bringing him to the Premier League before he completed a loan move, and then permanent move to Turkish football.

‘No, this isn’t working,’ he told TalkSport. ‘I said when he joined CHELSEA that I thought he should hav gone to a team like Everton.

‘Develop there for a couple of years and then make the big move to top-six side. I think the jump from Ipswich to Chelsea was too much.

‘When I look at him as a striker, I like him – he can hold up the ball well, he’s a good finisher, but he just doesn’t look sharp enough for the top level of the Premier League.

‘Someone like [Victor] Osimhen was the striker they should have gone out and got.’

IcChelseanews says…

Osimhen is just the type of striker that we needed, that we need at times this season, but now we need to look at someone else because the Nigerian is not getting any younger.
