“He plays like almighty Messi” – William Gallas urges Chelsea to sign £138m superstar
Chelsea has come under fire from William Gallas for spending a lot of money to recruit Brazilian sensation Estevao Willian.
Gallas thinks Chelsea should target players with more experience, and he would rather acquire Neymar than a Brazilian teenager.
Gallas told Lord Ping: “If I had the money I would’ve preferred to spend it on a player like Neymar. Someone with experience who will know how to adapt very quickly, it’s harder for young players.
“You can say that the money is an investment for the future but the Premier League is much tougher than La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A and even the Bundesliga, it’s far more physical.
“It can be hard for players, even for Neymar. Because Neymar needs space and he also needs rest, playing every three games can be really intense.
“But it would be good to see him in the Premier League and fans will love him too, I’m not sure if he could work with Mikel Arteta at Arsenal but Neymar to Chelsea, why not?”
