Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has expressed confidence in Victor Osimhen's ability to break the 'curse' surrounding the No.9 position at Stamford Bridge. Drawing parallels with Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, Petit believes Osimhen possesses the necessary personality and mentality to succeed in the iconic shirt.

Since the departure of Drogba, Chelsea have struggled to find a suitable heir to the No.9 legacy. Several high-profile strikers have donned the jersey but failed to live up to the expectations set by the Ivorian icon. With Osimhen's emergence as a top talent in European football, could he be the player the Blues have been searching for?

The Nigerian striker has been making waves with his performances for both club and country. His lethal finishing, physical presence, and work ethic have caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe. Chelsea's interest in Osimhen signals their intent to secure a long-term solution to their No.9 woes.
