Haaland Is The Answer To Chelsea's Scoring Problems, Says Petit

Former France midfielder Emmanuel Petit has insisted that Chelsea should sign Norway striker Erling Haaland in order to solve their goalscoring crisis.

Petit believes that the Borussia Dortmund wonderkid has what it takes to solve Chelsea’s key problem in front of goal.

The Blues enjoyed enormous success under Thomas Tuchel last season as they won the UEFA Champions League. Chelsea could not score more goals despite comfortably dominating every team in games.

None of Chelsea attacking options scored up to ten Premier League goals and the Londoners are said to be looking to sign a proven goal scorer in the mould of Haaland.

Petit, who once played for Chelsea during his career, has explained how the former Red Bull Salzburg man could benefit the West Londoners.

“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,” he told Paddy Power.

“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 [Mason] Mount, [Kai] Havertz, [Christian] Pulisic and [Hakim] Ziyech, making him score lots of goals at Stamford Bridge.

“Chelsea needs a top striker, it’s as simple as that.”
