GALLAS URGES CHELSEA TO GO ALL OUT FOR HAALAND

While Chelsea have continued to express their strong interest in signing Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland this summer, it continues to look like the deal will not go through. The Blues are in dire need of a prolific striker this summer and Haaland is their number one target who they have been looking at to possibly sign for the past couple of months. Not only Chelsea, but a lot of other top clubs across Europe have been chasing the Norwegian striker, including Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, as well as Manchester City.

Following the confirmation on Thursday that Jadon Sancho will no longer be a Dortmund player from this summer after the German Bundesliga giants agreed on a deal in principle to sell the winger to English Premier League giants Manchester United, it has grown even more unlikely that Haaland will be leaving the club in the summer, as Dortmund reportedly cannot afford to lose their two best players in the same window.

GALLAS BELIEVES WERNER IS A TOP STRIKER

Germany international striker Timo Werner has not enjoyed the sort of reception he was expecting to get in his first full season at Chelsea and he believes that he deserves more accolades than he is currently getting. Since moving to London from German Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig last summer, a lot has been expected of him and his inability to meet all of the expectations that have been placed on him has seen him come under huge pressure to perform at Stamford Bridge.

The striker’s form dropped drastically, and he was also low on confidence after a couple of fruitless outings and performances for the Blues. Having made his debut under former manager Frank Lampard, he showed some promising signs in his first few games at Chelsea and the Blues’ fans immediately thought they had gotten themselves the striker that will eventually fire them to the English Premier League title almost instantly. However, he would eventually struggle to keep up with his good form.

GALLAS: CHELSEA SHOULD SIGN ANOTHER STRIKER

When Chelsea handed a huge amount of transfer funds to former manager Frank Lampard last summer, the essence was so that the manager could make player additions to the squad that will be highly beneficial to their plans of challenging for trophies in the coming season. Lampard then did his best on the transfer window to bring in the likes of Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Thiago Silva, and others as he looked to build a team, he thought would be capable of winning the Premier League title.

However, as this season started, the reverse was the case. Chelsea’s new attackers found it hard to adjust to Lampard’s playing style and there were series of unwanted results from the new stars. Ziyech, Werner, and Havertz were particularly the three main star signings of the summer window and all eyes were on them to perform at the highest level.

ARSENAL: IS THE CAPTAINCY CURSE BACK

Arsenal fans won’t be out of place if they ask if the captaincy curse is back with what has been happening to club skipper Pierre-EmerickAubameyang in the past two weeks. The Gabonese international has been a shadow of himself in the Gunners team for the majority of this season though things picked up at the turn of the year but that improvement in form is now a thing of the past judging by the events of the last two weeks. Aubameyang has largely struggled to score the goals for the Gunners since the signing of his new contract last summer. He had one year left on his then Arsenal deal before the club handed him a two-year extension to make it three more years for him at the club. In addition, the player was given a pay rise of £250,000 weekly that could rise to £350,000 depending on add-ons.

WILLIAM GALLAS CRITICIZES CHELSEA’S DEFENDER ON SOCIAL MEDIA

William Gallas has criticized Chelsea’s England international full-back Reece James, insisting that the young defender needs to start learning to cover up for his center-backs if he really has the intention of helping the team. Gallas was making reference to the 2-0 loss Chelsea suffered in the Premier League back in January, highlighting that Reece James exposed the central defenders by placing too much focus on moving forward.

The 2-0 loss was Chelsea’s sixth of the Premier League campaign on a frustrating evening when Gallas believes that the two goals could have been kept out if there was more defensive organization from the Blues. The opening goal was conceded from a corner that was not defended properly while the second goal was a punishment for yet another defensive error.

GALLAS ASKS CHELSEA TO SIGN WEST HAM UNITED MIDFIELDER

William Gallas has said that he expects Chelsea to be highly interested in the possibility of signing West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice whether in this January transfer window or the summer. He said the Blues should do well to sign the player so they can have more competition in the team and also improve their current midfield options.

Even though Chelsea splashed the cash heavily last summer to bring in a lot of bee faces to the club, they are still expected to be linked to a number of players this transfer window and Gallas has urged them to not think twice if the opportunity arises to sign Rice anytime. Continue reading
