Nigerian prophet Primate Elijah Ayodele has cautioned Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen against joining Chelsea, claiming that a move to the London club could be detrimental to the forward’s career
Ayodele, who is the founder of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued his warning in a 44-second social media video, urging Osimhen to avoid the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Primate Ayodele’s remarks come amid ongoing speculation surrounding Osimhen’s future, with Chelsea reportedly among the clubs vying for the Nigerian international’s signature this summer.
Despite rumours that Osimhen already has an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea have reignited their interest in the Napoli star following a failed bid for Atletico Madrid’s Samuel Omorodion.
The Blues, in desperate need of a reliable striker to lead their attack in the 2024/25 season, view Osimhen as a prime target.
However, Ayodele’s stark warning could give the striker pause as he weighs his options.
Ayodele has previously spoken out about Chelsea, describing the club as cursed and in need of spiritual cleansing.
Osimhen, 25, is one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers, with links to top clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
However, his hefty €130 million price tag has proven a stumbling block for most suitors, leaving Chelsea as the primary contender.
With just weeks remaining in the transfer window, Napoli are eager to finalize the striker’s future, but Ayodele’s prophetic words may influence the final decision.
