On the Obi One Podcast, Mikel revealed that Osimhen remains eager to join Chelsea and emulate his idol, Didier Drogba.
"Listen, it will be really sad if we don’t get a player who supported us as a kid and wants to play for this Football Club," Mikel said.

"His idol is Drogba, he will want to break records, win us trophies, get us back to the top, come for Drogba’s records. I’m telling you that would be his mission.
If the club chose not to pursue it, then well fair enough, good luck to them, but the good thing about it is we know where we left it, we can literally pick the phone up and get him straight in the door."
