Music star Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P from the defunct P-Square duo, has reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring Victor Osimhen is signed by Chelsea FC.
Okoye took to X to update fans on his behind-the-scenes efforts with former Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi to secure the in-demand striker’s signature during the 2024 summer transfer window.
In the post, Okoye revealed he and Obi were part of a three-way call that stretched until midnight on transfer deadline day, pushing to finalise Osimhen’s move to Stamford Bridge.

He wrote: “Dear @ChelseaFC fans, last summer, both @mikel_john_obi and I made every effort to secure the signing of @victorosimhen9 for Chelsea, including engaging in a three-way call right up until the transfer deadline. I want to reassure all of you that we remain steadfast in our pursuit and will continue our efforts this summer. Fingers crossed.#AgentP”.
Despite their efforts, the deal collapsed and Osimhen joined Turkish giants Galatasaray on a season-long loan.
The 26-year-old forward thrived in Istanbul, clinching the Turkish Super Lig’s top scorer title with an impressive 26 goals.
