Emmanuel Petit, a former midfielder for Chelsea, has advised his old team not to sign Victor Osimhen.
The Blues want to strengthen their attack after suffering through yet another lackluster season.
One of the strikers who has been connected to the Premier League’s biggest teams is Osimhen.
The 25-year-old is expected to leave the former Serie A champions Napoli at the end of the season.
“Chelsea do not need [Victor] Osimhen or [Alexander] Isak. We all know about the No.9 curse at Chelsea and in the last couple of months, we’ve seen what [Nicolas] Jackson can do,” Petit told Grosvenor Sport.
“There’s no need to put more pressure on him by signing someone like Isak on his back. You need competition in every position, but when you have someone like Jackson starting to emerge, don’t put pressure on him and let him explode. For me, if I’m Chelsea, I’m not buying Isak as Jackson is already beginning to flourish.”
