Joe Cole tells Chelsea to sign player who could be attainable if his club is relegated | OneFootball

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has told Chelsea to sign Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven in the summer window.

The centre back could be more than attainable if Tottenham find themselves relegated to the Championship this season, something that is actually looking more than possible right now after they were beaten by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League yesterday.

Chelsea fans would certainly be celebrating a Spurs relegation, if that did happen, but they would also be perhaps looking at their squad to see if there are any players that we could sign to take advantage of them dropping down the league with players wanting out.

Cole tells Chelsea to sign van de Ven

The former England international believes the Dutch centre-back is the perfect solution to the defensive frailties currently plaguing Liam Rosenior’s side.

Speaking on the potential move, Cole was clear about the impact the Dutchman could have on Rosenior’s squad.

“Micky van de Ven from Tottenham,” Cole stated when discussing potential targets, per The Sun. “I think he’s looking like he wants to leave and I think he would be a brilliant addition for Chelsea. They want to play that high line and you need a defender with pace and, you know, a good one-on-one defender. He’s brilliant.”

In other news…

Liam Rosenior has claimed that it wasn’t a lack of effort or tactical mistakes that were costing Chelsea – but insisted he didn’t want to blame the players in the wake of the Everton defeat on Saturday night.

But Rosenior also blamed “mistakes” for the goals Chelsea were conceding – but we’re going to need a bit more than that I’m afraid.
