Chelsea Have Been Urged To Sign This Barcelona Centre-Forward: Good Option For The Blues? | OneFootball

In a recent interview with talkSPORT, journalist Andy Brassell urged Chelsea to sign Barcelona centre-forward Robert Lewandowski. Brassell said,

“Only 13 starts in La Liga this season, although he’s been available for many more.

“12 goals in those 13 starts, which is still pretty good.

“We know he can make a nuisance of himself against the best defenders still. So, if we’re talking about a one-year deal for him to play in the Premier League, great, I think go for it.

“Now, I know there will be people out there who say, ‘Oh, well, you know a bottom half side could take a chance on him’. It’s not taking a chance, it is Robert Lewandowski! The only thing you’re taking a chance on is, can he last the pace?

“Unless you’re expecting him to start every game I think it’s a more than palatable gamble, I think he’d be good for Arsenal. I think he’d be good for Chelsea.

“You could even argue he’d be good for Manchester United, if it wasn’t for the fact that Benjamin Sesko probably needs a season where he’s gonna start all the games.

“And that would be your argument against Arsenal as well, the fact that (Viktor) Gyokeres has to play more to be more consistent and get better.

“I know he divides opinion but I think even though it’s not the perfect first season at Arsenal, it’s an acceptable first season at Arsenal. So, my immediate thoughts would be if we’re looking at big clubs; Chelsea for a year.

“Not that they will do because they don’t tend to do the experience thing. But I think a bit of experience would be perfect for Chelsea.”

Lewandowski’s Impressive Form In Spanish Football

Lewandowski has enjoyed a good run of form at the Catalan club as he put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 37-year-old has scored 17 times and earned four assists in 41 matches for Barcelona this season in various competitions.

His current contract at the Nou Camp will expire at the end of this campaign, which could open the door for the Blues to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Will Lewandowski Be A Good Option For Chelsea?

Lewandowski excels at finding some space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to engineer the odd chance for his teammates in the final third.

The Polish striker is a strong runner with the ball. However, he won’t be a long-term fix to Chelsea‘s goal-scoring concerns this summer.

We can expect Lewandowski to bring more firepower to the West London club’s attack. At 37, he might still have a year or two left in his locker to play at a high level. Hence, Lewandowski would be a decent option for the Blues to consider this summer.
