Former Chelsea winger, Florent Malouda believes Victor Osimhen will be an excellent signing for his former club.
The Blues are in the market for a new striker following another underwhelming campaign by Senegal international Nicolas Jackson.
Osimhen is among the strikers on the Premier League giants’ radar.
The powerful striker was close to moving to the Stamford Bridge last season but the transfer fell through due to his wage demands.
Malouda insisted that he would love to see Osimhen at Chelsea next season.
“The [Osimhen] links with Chelsea are strong. We’ve had brilliant African footballers in the past, and Osimhen can be the next generation of African players at Chelsea,” he told Racing Tipster.
“I would love to see him join the club. I think he would be an excellent signing. I also think he would help someone like Nicolas Jackson improve.”
Malouda also claimed Osimhen will score plenty of goals for Enzo Maresca’s side.
“We [Chelsea] need a striker that scores 20 or more a season. Osimhen is the kind of player who can do that,” he added.
