"He is not a greedy person," — Chelsea legend shared his thoughts on Victor Osimhen

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel shared his views on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

Details: Mikel, who is well-acquainted with Osimhen and acted as an intermediary in negotiations, responded to claims that Osimhen's decision not to join Chelsea was driven by greed.

Quote: "I hear many people talking about Victor being greedy, and suggesting that if he took the salary, he would join Chelsea and so on. I know this guy. I know this guy. I just want to say that it's absolutely false. Victor is not a greedy person. He simply wants to receive what he deserves, and that’s not a problem," stated the former Chelsea midfielder.

Reminder: John Obi Mikel revealed that the London club was very close to finalizing a deal for Victor Osimhen.

Despite the closure of the transfer window in top leagues, Osimhen didn’t leave Napoli. He also declined a move to Saudi Arabia. Ultimately, to avoid spending six months on Napoli's bench, the Nigerian goal machine joined Galatasaray on loan with no option to buy.
