Chelsea are set to make “one big signing” this summer transfer window, a respected journalist has claimed.
We have been in the transfer headlines alot over the past few weeks, despite the fact that there has been no football going on, as Frank Lampard knows that he needs to spend some serious money in the summer.
We have one of the most exciting young sides in the game, and the future looks bright for us, but to be challenging for those big titles we need to add some much needed experience to key areas of the pitch.
We have already acquired the services of Hakim Ziyech, who should be arriving soon, but there is a feeling that a new striker will be arriving to help out Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud next season.
Abraham is brilliant and will bang in the goals for us for many seasons to come, but with Olivier Giroud only here until next summer and the constant speculation that Michy Batshuayi could leave, Lamps needs to get some deals done. And it has now been claimed that the ‘one big signing’ that is set to make a move to us this summer, will push out Michy Batshuayi out of the club.
Simon Johnson claimed on the SUN: “I was talking to someone the other day, they were suggesting that in all likelihood there’ll be one big signing, and then whatever else comes up, swap deals etc, etc.
“The striker which Frank wants is someone who can hold up the ball and play around him, which is very much a Giroud-type striker and that certainly rules out Batshuayi, who increasingly became a peripheral figure.” We are hoping that more than one big signing arrives at the club because we need to get this side turned into Premier League winners.
