Victor Osimhen or Ivan Toney will not solve Chelsea’s scoring problems, William Gallas has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, without guaranteeing 20 goals a season if they eventually join, both strikers will still not be able to bridge the gap between the Blues and the EPL teams on top right now.
Gallas added that Osimhen in particular might struggle with goals because of the new players that will be around him.
His words, “If Osimhen or Toney come in, they do not guarantee 20 goals a season, even if they know the Premier League. If you compare their former clubs to Chelsea, there’s a big gap and when you go to Chelsea or another big club, you’re playing with different players and you’re not necessarily the main man.
“It’s more difficult when you’re surrounded by international players and it’s harder to show yourself, especially with the pressure on your shoulders. You’re wearing a jersey of champions, who’ve won the Premier League six times, plus two Champions Leagues and many more trophies including the FA Cups, League Cups and Community Shields! Osimhen may not score 20 goals because of the different players around you.”
WOW.
