Adebayor tips Osimhen for Chelsea move
“He has the right attitude, mentality, and determination to excel in England,” Adebayor told BBC Sport Africa.

“Osimhen has shown and done it already in Italy, I think it is the right time for him to move to England and replace his idol Drogba and do beautiful things. He has all it takes to make a name and write a great chapter in England like Drogba.”
