Petit backs Osimhen to end Chelsea's No. 9 curse

Emmanuel Petit, a former French midfielder, has expressed confidence that Victor Osimhen can end Chelsea's notorious No. 9 curse. This curse refers to the struggles of strikers wearing the No. 9 shirt at Chelsea since the departure of Didier Drogba, who was a top marksman for the club.

Petit believes that Osimhen, currently linked with a potential move to Chelsea, possesses the qualities of a reliable number nine that the club has been searching for. He described Osimhen as a "really big person" with a strong character, suggesting that he has the potential to break the curse surrounding the No. 9 jersey at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea is reportedly among the clubs monitoring Osimhen's situation, indicating their interest in acquiring him as they seek to find a solution to their striker woes.
