Former Southampton defender Jose Fonte believes Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen would have become another Didier Drogba had Chelsea signed him.
He made this known amid the Blues’ inability to sign the Nigerian international during the summer transfer window.
Speaking with BoyleSports, Fonte stated that Osimhen is aggressive, fast, clever, and powerful.
“Chelsea are crying out for a striker like Victor Osimhen,” Fonte told BoyleSports.

“Look at Chelsea and all the greats they have had up front. As a striker, he could be another Didier Drogba for them. He is a winner.
“They have a different style of play, and Drogba is a legend, but [Osimhen] has pace, power, and technical quality. He wins his duels and is such a handful for defenders.”
Fonte added: “When I saw Victor Osimhen go to Galatasaray, I thought it was foolish that no Premier League club had signed him.
“Once Osimhen gets into the Premier League, I think he will bully defenders. He is aggressive, fast, clever, and powerful.
“I played against him in the Champions League, and I’m sure he took it easy on me as a friend at almost 40, but it was still a nightmare.”
