“Break the bank & Sign one of them” “No more excuses” – Mikel Obi names two players Chelsea needs to break the bank for after Liverpool defeat
Everyone believes Chelsea should have get a point or better still even beat Liverpool after thier solid performance at Anfield.
However, following the match, Chelsea legend Mikel Obi believes Chelsea should ‘break the bank’ to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak or Victor Osimhen in the forthcoming transfer window, but will the board do so?
Chelsea were interested in adding another striker to give backup and competition for Nicolas Jackson, and Victor Osimhen remained a target, but a deal for the Nigerian star fell through in the summer.
Alexander Isak has a similar price tag of £115 million, and despite the fact that Newcastle have no intention of selling their top player, Mikel Obi has stated that Isak is the ideal candidate to lead Chelsea’s assault – he is an upgrade over Nicolas Jackson.
‘Newcastle have done well to keep Alexander Isak at the club this summer window – they have managed to evade all the transfer rumours and keep the Swedish star happy enough to want to stay
‘If I was a CHELSEA , I’d be breaking the bank for Isak. If Chelsea got Isak, they’d be certainty for a top-four finish. They would certainly manage to score more goals on a weekly basis.
‘Nicolas Jackson managed to net 17 goals last season for the Blues, which is a decent amount for his first season – but he is a player that will probably miss alot more than he will score.
‘He has so many creative players behind him – but he showed in the game against Man City that when he is needed – he lets the side side – Isak will not do that.
‘There has been alot of transfer speculation about the future of Victor Osimhen – he is the man that Chelsea reportedly wants – but if Enzo Maresca wants a proven Premier League player, then Isak is the man.’
