Former Chelsea fullback Glen Johnson says Victor Osimhen must be patient if he plans to move to Stamford Bridge.

The Napoli striker is being linked with a January transfer to Chelsea.

Speaking with with GGRecon, Johnson said: "Regardless of what's happening at Napoli, I believe Victor would want to join Chelsea anyway.

"However, Victor will be kicking himself that this move could happen when Chelsea are currently in transition.

"Of course they're a big team and they're going to bounce back eventually.

"But as long as Victor is willing to wait 18 months or so for that to happen, then I'm sure he'd still want to sign for them in January."
