‘I want him to win trophies’ — Omeruo urges Osimhen to choose Chelsea over Arsenal

Nigerian defender Kenneth Omeruo has urged Victor Osimhen to choose Chelsea over Arsenal amid growing speculation about the Napoli striker’s next summer move.

According to Omeruo, playing for Chelsea would offer Osimhen a better chance of winning trophies.

Chelsea were crowned UEFA Conference League champions after defeating La Liga side Real Betis 4-1 in Wroclaw.

“Of course, Chelsea. Arsenal needs him, but I want him to win trophies,” said Omeruo. “Right now, he’s the best striker in the world for me.”

Osimhen, who is currently nearing the end of his loan spell at Galatasaray, is one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe this summer.

While Arsenal have been frequently linked with the Nigerian striker, the Gunners appear to be losing ground in the transfer race.

The 26-year-old striker was close to a Chelsea move last summer before opting for a stint in Turkey.

With the summer window fast approaching, speculation continues to intensify about where Osimhen will play next season.
