John Obi Mikel jokes he is Victor Osimhen's 'agent' and says he is 'pushing the Napoli star to join Chelsea' over PSG and Man United... as the Blues legend claims the striker 'loves the London club'

Jon Obi Mikel has revealed that he is trying to 'push Victor Osimhen to joining Chelsea' while joking that he is the Napoli striker's agent.

The much sought-after forward reportedly 'signed a new contract' with the Italian outfit in December which will keep him at the club until 2026.

Sky Sports Italy claimed the 25-year-old also now has a release clause in his contract that is worth around £104million-£113m.

Chelsea are one of several clubs in Europe's top leagues who have been interested in signing him, with Mikel claiming he has urged Osimhen to snub PSG and Man United and follow in his footsteps to join the London club.
