“He wants to play with Cole Palmer” “He will bite your arm off to sign for Chelsea” – Glen Johnson confirms €65m player wants Chelsea move
This summer, Chelsea is rumored to be interested in signing a striker. Marc Guiu was previously signed by the Blues from Barcelona, but they may still add a striker before the season begins.
Ollie Watkins, a striker for Aston Villa, who Cole Palmer urge to join him at Chelsea has been linked to leaving Villa Park following an outstanding season under Unai Emery.
With 19 goals and 13 assists to help Aston Villa finish fourth in the Premier League and earn a Champions League spot for the first time, the 28-year-old had his greatest Premier League campaign to date.
According to former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson, Ollie Watkins would ‘bite your arm off’ to join Chelsea this summer, that’s if Chelsea make a move for him.
Glen Johnson believes Ollie Watkins would be keen to leave Aston Villa and give up on Champions League football to join Chelsea.
Glen Johnson told Betfred: “If he got the opportunity to sign for Chelsea I think he’d bite their arm off.
“Aston Villa had a great season and qualified for the Champions League, but Chelsea’s still Chelsea and I’m sure they’ll bounce back. Ollie would definitely improve them and I can definitely see that deal happening.
“I can see reasons for why he’d stay at Villa and for why he’d move to Chelsea. He didn’t get a lot of gametime at the Euros but when he got onto the pitch, England looked like a better team.”
