He is refusing to train with us ever since His transfer request to Chelsea was declined last summer, we’re now begging Chelsea to come and Have Him by January because we can’t force Him against His wish”, Coach of £80m Striker who turned down Chelsea offer last summer is now begging Chelsea to come and Have Him by January

The coach of an £80 million striker, who previously turned down a move to Chelsea last summer, has expressed frustration over the player’s refusal to train with his current team since his transfer request to the London club was denied. The coach now hopes that Chelsea will come back with a renewed offer in January, as they feel unable to retain a player who is clearly set on leaving. This situation highlights the ongoing transfer drama between the player and the two clubs.

Meanwhile, former Chelsea star Florent Malouda has weighed in on Chelsea’s future and how they could significantly boost their chances in the Premier League title race. The Blues, under new manager Enzo Maresca, have started the season much stronger than many pundits expected. Critics initially doubted whether Chelsea would even break into the top six or top four, let alone compete for the title, but the team’s early performance has caused some to reassess their predictions.

Malouda, however, believes that one signing could be a game-changer for Chelsea: Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian forward, currently with Napoli, nearly joined Chelsea during the summer transfer window, and Malouda thinks this move could be the key to unlocking Chelsea’s title aspirations.

Speaking to The Metro, Malouda remarked, “Victor Osimhen is the type of player who could significantly elevate this Chelsea side. We came close to signing him last summer, and if there’s another opportunity to bring him in this January, it’s something the club should seriously consider.” He further explained that the rumored price for Osimhen has dropped since the summer, now reportedly around £70 million, which makes the deal more feasible.

Although Galatasaray would be reluctant to lose Osimhen, he remains a Napoli player for now, and there have been rumors coming out of Naples that the forward could be available come January. Malouda emphasized that Chelsea should always be in the market for world-class talent, and Osimhen is undoubtedly in that category. Bringing him to Stamford Bridge would narrow the gap between Chelsea and their title rivals, such as Manchester City and Arsenal.

“There are indications that Osimhen wants to join Chelsea,” Malouda said. “We’ll have to see what happens, but I’d love for the club to make a serious move for him. The transfer market is unpredictable, and there may be competition for his signature, but Chelsea should do everything they can to secure him.”

Malouda also mentioned that Osimhen has drawn praise from Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, though he added that the young striker would have to carve out his own legacy. The expectations surrounding a player like Osimhen joining Chelsea would certainly be high, but his impact could be profound.

“If Chelsea were able to sign Osimhen, it would send a strong message to the other top Premier League teams,” Malouda stated. “His quality would undoubtedly push Chelsea into the heart of the title race. If the team can stay within striking distance of the top by January, adding Osimhen to the squad could give the fans and the club an exciting boost for the second half of the season.”

In Malouda’s view, Osimhen’s potential arrival could be the difference-maker that transforms Chelsea into genuine title contenders, solidifying their pursuit of Premier League glory.
