Former England forward, Stan Collymore has warned Victor Osimhen on the dangers of joining Chelsea and the adverse effects it will have on his career.

Collymore believes Osimhen joining the Blues will put an unfair expectations and unnecessary pressure on his shoulders.

“That player, whoever it was, got talked about way beyond whether they were good, bad or indifferent on the pitch,” Collymore was quoted by Caught Off Side.

“It was always that the record signing would be expected to make the difference which I always thought was very unfair.

“The big name signing that won’t just entertain us but will also become the poster boy of both his club and the entire Premier League.

“That could well be the case for Victor Osimhen if his rumoured move to Chelsea comes off, because the mind boggling numbers then puts unfair pressure and expectation on him.”

Osimhen has been rumoured to join Chelsea on an initial one year loan with Romelu Lukaku moving in the opposite direction.
