Nigerians have made their feelings known after popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, warned Victor Osimhen to avoid joining Chelsea.
Pulse Sports earlier reported that renowned prophet Elijah Ayodele warned Napoli striker Victor Osimhen to avoid a move to Chelsea for the good of his career.
The Super Eagles striker has been linked with a move away from the Serie A side for several months with Europe's top clubs credited with an interest.
However, his huge release clause, reported to be around 120 million euros has proved a stumbling block.
In recent days, a move to Chelsea has gathered pace, with both clubs looking for ways to make a deal happen for the 25-year-old striker.
Reacting to the news, the prophet said:
)
“I want to quickly advise as directly 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 the World Cup and Nations Cup,” Ayodele said per Punch.
