Ex-Blue Tells Chelsea To Sign Two Players For Premier League Title Challenge

Ex-Blue Tells Chelsea To Sign Two Players For Premier League Title Challenge

Former Netherlands international Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has urged Chelsea to bolster their defense and midfield in order to mount a Premier League title challenge.

The Blues’ hopes of winning silverware were boosted before the beginning of the 2020/2021 season after spending over £200 million on players like Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Kai Havert, Ben Chilwell and Edouard Mendy coupled with swooping veteran Brazil defender Thiago Silva for free.

Frank Lampard’s men seem to have solved their defensive problems that became chronic throughout last season and early this season, having conceded just one goal in their last six games in all competitions.

Despite the positive signs in recent weeks, Hasselbaink has admonished his former side to add two players to their ranks.

“A lot of people are talking about Kalidou Koulibaly, but he’s 29 years old and would be very expensive,” said the former Blues striker as quoted on Metro.

“I actually quite like the Leicester defender, Caglar Soyuncu. I think he’d be very good at Chelsea.

“Also the defender at Inter, Milan Skriniar – everybody is talking about him, another very good player.

“So there are players out there, but it’s such a difficult position to fill at the moment.

Hasselbaink added: “I would also like to see another creative midfielder.

“I like Mason Mount, but maybe somebody to play alongside him.

“Havertz is there, I know, but you want healthy, quality competition in that area. I don’t think Chelsea are far off at all.”
