FORMER Chelsea star Glen Johnson has shared his thoughts on the Blues' top transfer target Victor Osimhen.<\/p>\n

According to the ex-right-back the Napoli star "will be kicking himself" if he made a move to Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Blues chief\u00a0Todd Boehly\u00a0is itching to strengthen his frontline and\u00a0Napoli's Osimhen is reportedly at the top of his transfer wishlist.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old is said to be available in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

But ex-Blues star Johnson believes Europe's most sought-after striker might not want to move to West London just yet.<\/p>\n

In an interview with GGRecon he said: "Regardless of what\u2019s happening at Napoli, I believe Victor would want to join Chelsea anyway.<\/p>\n

"However, Victor will be kicking himself that this move could happen when Chelsea are currently in transition. <\/p>\n

"Of course they\u2019re a big team and they\u2019re going to bounce back eventually.<\/p>\n

"But as long as Victor is willing to wait 18 months or so for that to happen, then I\u2019m sure he\u2019d still want to sign for them in January.\u201d<\/p>\n

They currently sit 10th in the\u00a0Premier League\u00a0table, 14 points adrift of top spot.<\/p>\n

And the former Liverpool defender thinks a move to Chelsea could hinder Osimhen's terrific form.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria international scored 31 goals across all competitions last season and has already scored six goals in 11 appearances this term.<\/p>\n

Johnson continued: "It\u2019s tough for strikers to move to struggling sides and start banging in the goals straight away; that\u2019s difficult for anyone to do. <\/p>\n

"For example, if Erling Haaland joined Chelsea in January, he wouldn\u2019t score the same amount of goals he\u2019s scoring now. <\/p>\n

"It\u2019s hard to assume that Victor\u2019s going to start banging in goals from day one, if the move happens.<\/p>\n

"But I think he will score goals in the Premier League and the league will suit him."<\/p>\n

And the\u00a0Serie A\u00a0champions will likely demand \u00a3120million for him.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u00a0has already\u00a0spent \u00a31billion since Boehly took over\u00a0in May 2022.<\/p>\n

Should Chelsea complete a deal to sign Osimhen, he will become the most expensive player in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Johnson added: "I think Chelsea needs to sign a new striker, but not one that\u2019s going to make them break the bank. <\/p>\n
