Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has advised Victor Osimhen against making a move from Napoli to Chelsea this summer.
Osimhen is expected to depart the Serie A club before the transfer window closes, with Chelsea emerging as one of the leading contenders to sign the Nigerian striker, potentially including two players in the deal.
However, in a video shared on ESPN’s X account, Ayodele predicted that Osimhen “will not shine” if he joins Chelsea.
He said: “I want to quickly advise as directed, that Osimhen should not go to Chelsea because if he goes there, he will not shine and it will kill his career.
“NFF, if Osimhen should go to Chelsea, don’t call him again, and also calling him to the Super Eagles still needs to be previewed properly because we have what it takes to win the World Cup and Nations Cup.”
