Pundit Criticizes Chelsea for Not Signing Osimhen After Arsenal Defeat

Pundit Gabby Agbonlahor criticized Chelsea's decision to sign Liam Delap instead of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen following Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. Agbonlahor expressed his belief that Osimhen would have been a better choice for Chelsea, questioning the club's pursuit of a different forward.
He compared Delap's performance unfavorably to Osimhen's qualities, emphasizing Osimhen's ability to hold the ball and finish well. Agbonlahor also questioned the decision to play Delap as a right winger, suggesting that the player looked lost in that position during the match.
Agbonlahor's comments come in the aftermath of Chelsea's disappointing defeat, where the team's attacking options were scrutinized.
