During the summer transfer window, Chelsea must be very active. Chelsea did appear to be a title contender early in the season, but their play has significantly declined in recent weeks. Even though billions have been spent recently, this team does require a little more quality.
Ian Wright wants Chelsea to recruit a new center back in addition to a new goalkeeper. But the primary issue at Chelsea is that this youthful team lacks experience. Joe Cole has been talking about Chelsea’s summer priorities on The Dressing Room Podcast, and he has made an intriguing assertion regarding who his old team ought to sign.
De Bruyne concluded a fruitful ten-year tenure with the Premier League winners earlier this month when he declared he would be departing City at the end of the current campaign. After the game, De Bruyne mentioned for the first time that he would be open to leaving City at the end of the season and joining a rival Premier League team.
Joe Cole says Chelsea should sign Kevin De Bruyne
When it was revealed that Kevin De Bruyne would be leaving Manchester City, Cole began talking about his future. Despite De Bruyne’s MLS connections, Cole believes Chelsea would benefit greatly from the £54 million midfielder’s skill and winning track record.
We need veteran players like Kevin De Bruyne, who has been hurt a little, but we might only need him for 30 games a season because of the leadership and winning ability he brings to the team. This is what I would say if I were Chelsea and I were sitting around with him.
Although De Bruyne only played a few games for Chelsea before leaving in 2014, the midfielder insisted there are no animosities between the two teams in an interview with The Guardian.
It was a wise move for me to go at that moment, and perhaps it was also a wise move for them to let me go. There isn’t any negative vibe. It’s a fact of life, and you must mature.
Naturally, Enzo Maresca will be familiar to De Bruyne from his time working under Pep Guardiola at City, so who knows? Maybe this is a deal that we could see through.
