Speculation around Victor Osimhen’s potential transfer from SSC Napoli to Chelsea has reached new heights after a social media post by fellow Nigerian international John Ogu.
The Super Eagles midfielder took to Twitter with a message that has sent shockwaves through the football community: “Osimhen to Chelsea… Here We Go.” The phrase, famously used by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, has led many to believe that a move is imminent.
Ogu’s tweet has garnered significant attention, especially considering his reported close friendship with Osimhen. While there has been no official confirmation from Chelsea, Napoli, or Osimhen himself, the post has intensified rumors about the striker’s future.
Victor Osimhen, 25, has become one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards since joining Napoli. His prolific goal-scoring abilities and dynamic playing style have made him a target for several top clubs, with Chelsea reportedly leading the race for his signature.

The Blues, currently under new ownership and management, have been actively rebuilding their squad, and adding a player of Osimhen’s caliber would be a significant boost. However, negotiations have been complicated by the substantial release clause Napoli included in his contract after winning the Serie A title.
Osimhen’s desire for a new challenge after helping Napoli secure their first Serie A title in 33 years has further fueled speculation about his departure. But until official statements are made, the transfer remains unconfirmed.
For now, Ogu’s tweet serves as a tantalizing hint at what could be one of the summer’s biggest transfers, keeping Chelsea fans and Nigerian football enthusiasts on edge as they await further developments.
