“He knows how to handle football pressure” “A experience player Chelsea needs next season” – Florent Malouda begs Chelsea to sign ‘Intelligent 4times’ Champions League winner
Chelsea should sign Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos, according to Florent Malouda. The Frenchman thinks that Kroos’ expertise will benefit the squad in the upcoming campaign.
“I think a player like Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos is the type of target that Chelsea should be looking to bring in this summer. He is an experienced player with a lot of pedigree,” he said.
“Chelsea need one or two players like Kroos. Players who have such a high football IQ that they can analyse every scenario on the pitch, take the right decisions and lead the team.
“This is the type of profile I would be looking to bring into the club over the summer. We need experienced, ambitious players who want to be part of a very exciting Chelsea project next year.
“There are a few experienced players who will be available this summer. It isn’t necessarily about specific individuals, although Kroos would be an excellent signing, it’s about finding the right profiles who raise standards on and off the pitch.
“It’s a little bit like when the club signed Thiago Silva from PSG – we need one or two signings like that. He brought with him the mentality of a winner. He brought leadership to the dressing room, and he helped some of Chelsea’s younger players blossom.
“Those qualities are really important, because when there is a lot of pressure, especially in the media, guys like Thiago Silva are a shield for the younger players.
“For Chelsea to reach a level of consistency where they can compete for the Premier League title, it is absolutely necessary for the club to bring in some experience. “
