“Whatever the cost get him, he’s the heart of your midfield for a decade” – Owen Hargreaves tells Chelsea to sign €70m-rated special player
Chelsea are seriously facing some injuries crisis in the squad as Tuchel will be looking forward to add some players to the squad.
However, former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has urged Chelsea to prioritise signing Jude Bellingham over his Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland.
The 18-year-old midfielder was man-of-the-match as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Turkish side Besiktas 5-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Owen Hargreaves said: “First of all, against (Manchester) City he was the best midfielder on the pitch, with (Kevin) De Bruyne out there, which is crazy.
“Everyone’s going on about (his Borussia Dortmund team-mate Erling) Haaland, ‘spend the money on Haaland’, and rightly so. But, honestly, if I’m a big team in England – United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea – that is the guy you go and get.
“That is the heart of your midfield for a decade. Whatever it costs, you go and make that happen because he is special.”
