That was 20 years ago and we're not in Chelsea's position to throw all our money on a 26 year old striker and hope he clicks. They did like 10 major transfers that season. And if Drogba wouldn't have clicked they would have just thrown another 30-40 mil at the next big thing next season. We don't have that luxury.
Besides one very good season in 2022/2023 Osimhen didn't knock it out of the park at Napoli. The rest of his seasons are comparable to Vlahovic's seasons with us.
How do we know that that season wasn't a fluke and he only looked good because he had a system around him that put him in good light?
Don't tell me he's scoring 20+ goals in the Turkish league because that doesn't count. Even a mummy like Dzeko looks good in that league.
