‘I absolutely love him, I told Chelsea about him’ — Hasselbaink not happy after Chelsea decline offer to sign player
According to reports, The Blues were linked with Sergio Aguero in the past, before his move to Manchester City in 2011.
However, it’s a shocker that the Blues didn’t go for the Argentine over a decade ago, and the 33-year-old went on to become one of the best players in the history of the Premier League.
Aguero is the top-scoring foreign player in the Premier League and is the fourth highest scorer in the Premier League history, with 184 goals.
Following his retirement from the game after a heart condition, former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has revealed how he told Chelsea to sign Aguero at the time.
Hasselbaink told Sky Sports: “I hope that he gets the recognition he deserves. I absolutely love him, years and years ago when he was at Atletico Madrid, I told Chelsea they should buy him.
“He makes me think of Romario, the way that he used to play back in the day. It’s a real pity he has to stop playing now, he’s certainly one of the best players in Premier League history – I think there are better, but he’s definitely up there.”
