Chelsea legend, Glenn Hoddle, has urged his former club to sign Manchester United target, Victor Osimhen, this summer.
Hoddle said Osimhen would score a load of goals should he join Chelsea ahead of Man United this summer transfer window.
Osimhen, who currently plays for Serie A leaders Napoli, has been linked with a move to Man United this summer.
And Hoddle believes the Nigerian international would be the only player the Blues need to sign this summer.
“They [Chelsea] do need a No.9, they do need a goalscorer,” Hoddle told Premier League Productions.
“But I will tell you what, whoever comes in as a new manager for this squad, normally you would say when a new manager comes in, he is going to want to bring some of his own players in. I think he only needs a No.9, I think everything [else] is there.
“You need someone who you think is going to score 20 goals for you, a fox in the box, someone who wants to be in that area where they are creating so much.
“But that is the only player I think they need – they have got everything else.”
Asked if Osimhen could be the answer to Chelsea’s issues, Hoddle added: “Without a doubt, he is number one, but there are a few clubs after him.
“But if you put him in a Chelsea shirt, he’ll score a load of goals.”
Osimhen has been impressive for Napoli so far this season.
He is currently the Serie A top goal scorer with 21 goals.
The 24-year-old has four goals in the Champions League so far this term.
