- Amid swirling rumors of Chelsea and Saudi Arabian giants Al Ahli vying for his signature, Edoho boldly suggested that Osimhen should ditch the allure of Stamford Bridge and instead chase the lucrative Saudi Arabian deal.
- Edoho’s stance, expressed in a fiery tweet, ignited a flurry of debates among Nigerian football fans, who are now buzzing over Al Ahli’s jaw-dropping N53 billion offer for the football sensation.
Frank Edoho, Nigerian Media personality, an ardent Chelsea supporter, recently stepped into the football fray, dishing out advice to Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, on his next big career move.
As the final days of the summer transfer window approach, the football world is ablaze with speculation over the fate of Victor Osimhen.
The Napoli star finds himself at a career crossroads, with lucrative offers pouring in from all sides.
While the Premier League’s Chelsea beckons with the promise of top-tier European football, Saudi Arabian giants Al Ahli have thrown down the gauntlet with a mind-blowing offer that could change his life forever—a staggering €30 million per year, roughly 53 billion naira annually, over the next four years.
Nigerian fans, pundits, and even celebrities are in a frenzy, voicing their opinions on what Osimhen’s next move should be. Among them, media personality and passionate Chelsea devotee Frank Edoho has made headlines with his unorthodox advice.
Though one might expect him to campaign for Osimhen’s arrival at Stamford Bridge, Edoho stunned everyone by suggesting the forward should snub Chelsea’s advances and instead embrace the mountains of cash waiting for him in the Saudi desert.
In a series of candid tweets, Edoho laid out his reasoning, cutting through the romance of European football with a sharp dose of reality. He warned that a move to Chelsea, while glamorous, comes with immense pressure and the very real possibility of faltering.
“As a Chelsea fan, of course I would want to see @victorosimhen9 at Chelsea but as a Nigerian, I’d say,”Victor, are you nuts? Take the damed money and go to Saudi”.
If he comes to Chelsea or PSG, and he doesn’t hit those numbers anymore, he’ll start getting offers from Bournemouth next season,” Edoho wrote.
