Leboeuf calls on Chelsea to go for Napoli striker Osimhen

Former Chelsea player Frank Lebeouf wants his old club to bring in a Napoli cente forward.

The French World Cup winner wants the Stamford Bridge team to sign Victor Osimhen.

He believes the Nigerian, who has scored six goals in ten Serie A appearances this season, is the ideal fit for Mauricio Pochettino's young team.

Speaking to LuckyBlock.com, Lebeouf said: "Chelsea need a striker and an experienced midfielder. I said last season that Mitrovic would be good - he's not world-class, but he's a leader and a fighter. Victor Osimhen is having problems at Napoli, and maybe Chelsea can go for him in January.

“There's also Nantes' Mostafa Mohamed - I think he could do a good job.

"Chelsea also need help in midfield, someone like Toni Kross or Luka Modric. They may be older and not play as many games, but they could definitely serve the club well."
