‘Sign him & win the Champions League again’- Chelsea told to secure latest Tuchel top target
Chelsea surprised the whole world after winning the Champions league once again the Champions League last term.
Chelsea beat top teams like Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Manchester City to win the Champions League for the second time in the club’s history.
Ahead of the new campaign, Chelsea fans will be hopeful for another victory, as Thomas Tuchel has transformed the team into a beast.
Football pundit Paul Merson has named Chelsea among five clubs who can win the Champions League this season. Paul Merson tipped PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
However, Merson believes Chelsea can only defend their crown by signing a top striker who can guarantee goals.
“The defending champions, Chelsea, will definitely be in the running for the UEFA Champions League this season, but only if they manage to snap up Romelu Lukaku,” Merson told Sportskeeda.
“If they don’t manage to do so, I don’t believe they have enough in the side to conquer Europe again.
“Lukaku is a fantastic striker and will guarantee you 20-25 goals a season – no one else can do that for Chelsea right now.
“Chelsea will be a completely different proposition if they manage to get someone like him, so we’ll have to wait and see how this one pans out.
“It’s hard to win the UEFA Champions League once, let alone in successive seasons.
“Some of the strongest teams in history have failed to win the competition back-to-back, but Chelsea will be in the reckoning, in my opinion.”
