More Details
Mauricio Pochettino’s team are looking to add a striker during the January transfer window, and they are one of the teams that Ivan Toney has been connected to. Nevertheless, Brentford are requesting a fee above £80 million m for the 27-year-old, who finished the previous season with 20 goals in the Premier League.
After less than a year at Al-Ittihad, Benzema is already trying to leave the Saudi Pro League. As a temporary fix, the former Real Madrid striker is expected to sign with Chelsea or Arsenal.
Nevin, nevertheless, thinks Chelsea ought to pursue a transfer for Ferguson, who has made 50 appearances for Brighton and scored 16 goals since making his first team debut in 2021.
‘How many times have Chelsea gone down that route of signing an experienced striker?’ Nevin told told OCB Scores.
‘You think of the certain strikers that Chelsea have signed in the latter stages of their career, the likes of Shevchenko, I could go through a number of them. They are all brilliant but very few of them scored a lot of goals for the club.
‘On the other hand, if you are creating a number of chances which Chelsea are, maybe you just need someone who can put the ball in the net. It’s such a short-termist thing and it’s so against what the ethos has been from the club.’
