‘He’s the finisher that Chelsea really need’ as Board told to wrap up £300,000-a-week five-year deal
Chelsea have been told to go all out to sign Erling Haaland this summer transfer window.
Now there has been alot said about the long-term future of the Dortmund star, with all the biggest clubs in Europe keen to try and get a transfer deal done
Haaland broke the 40-goal barrier in all competitions last season, and his stock has risen soo much that people believe that he would become the best striker in world football, if he makes the right move.
And amid the speculation that Chelsea are ready to pay big money to try and get a transfer deal done, Former player Emmanuel Petit is desperate to see the Blues sign Haaland, insisting the Borussia Dortmund hotshot is ‘the answer’ for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Petit told Paddy Power: “I’ll make it simple. Olivier Giroud is on his way out of Chelsea, Tammy Abraham is probably leaving on loan, and Timo Werner still struggling to score goals consistently and Kai Havertz is not a striker. Chelsea need a new striker and someone who scores lots of goals.
“Erling Haaland is the answer, he’s strong, powerful and young with a bright future in front of him.
“Haaland’s value is already very high, and connections with Tuchel increase his chance of joining Chelsea. Offensively, he could become the finisher that Chelsea really need.
“I can imagine his relationship with Mount, Havertz, Pulisic and Ziyech making him score lots of goals at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea needs a top striker, it’s as simple as that.”
Roundup…
Until the moment that Chelsea make an official bid for Haaland, there is just alot of speculation, rumours and suggestions that he could just go to Chelsea. But at the end of the day, he is a striker that Chelsea fans would love, and he could score the goals that Tuchel wants and needs
