I dont know what it is with chelsea going after nigerian or mixed nigerian players, this is obsessive. I know obi mikel is in the chelsea camp so he is probably looking for Nigerian players, let alone igbo players. They got ugochucwu, chucumeka, madueke and now Tosin. This is getting ridiculous
Nooo… Olise already agreed to join Bayern Munich that’s why they pulled out.
