Famous Nigerian musician, Peter Okoye, has disclosed that he is working alongside former Super Eagles captain and Chelsea legend, Mikel Obi, to secure the signing of Victor Osimhen for the London-based club, Chelsea.

Peter Okoye made the revelation while giving an update about his efforts to convince Osimhen to join the Premier League giant.

Addressing Chelsea fans in a post on X, Okoye assured that he would try to persuade Osimhen to join the club this summer despite a failed attempt in 2024.

He wrote; “Dear ChelseaFC fans, last summer, both Mikel Obi and I made every effort to secure the signing of Victor Osimhen for Chelsea. Including engaging in a three-way call right up until the transfer deadline. I want to reassure all of you that we remain steadfast in our pursuit and will continue our efforts this summer. Fingers crossed.”

An online publication reports that Peter Okoye, who is a passionate Chelsea fan, is also known as one of Osimhen’s close associates. 

Recall that Osimhen joined Turkish club Galatasaray in 2024, on loan after a failed transfer deal to Chelsea.

His performance as the top goalscorer in Turkey’s professional football league, ‘Super Lig’, has made him more sought after by top clubs in the English Premier League.
