Some fans of the English Premier League club, Chelsea, believe the signing of Nigeria international Victor Osimhen cannot save the club from their woes as the London outfit’s underwhelming performance deepens
It has been a season to forget for the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League winners as they currently find themselves sitting in 11th position on the EPL log and are on the verge of getting knocked out of the prestigious club competition after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
The Blues during the summer and winter transfer windows spent the sum of €611.49m to bring in players after American billionaire Todd Boehly completed the club’s takeover in May last year.
Under the American billionaire, Chelsea sacked Thomas Tuchel as well as Harry Potter before appointing former midfielder Frank Lampard as caretaker manager.
The return of the club legend has not had any impact on the team’s performance as they are yet to register a win after three games since he took charge.
However, after Wednesday’s defeat to the Spanish giants, Frank Khalid, a British entrepreneur, and the owner of West London Film Studios, Elbrook Cash and Carry wrote on his Twitter page that he hoped the club could spend on signing Osimhen.
He wrote, “Personally I would not spend the £80m on buying Joao Felix in the summer and use that money to buy Victor Osimhen, we need a goal scorer and someone who will make a difference.”
