In the wake of the rather explosive comments from Marc Cucurella this morning about Chelsea’s transfer strategy, Kaveh Solhekol has gone straight on Sky Sports to speak about the situation.

The full back criticised the youth focused transfer model at Stamford Bridge, and according to Solhekol this could finally bring some changes.

Sky journalist predicts changes to Chelsea model following stinging criticism

“I don’t think the Chelsea ownership will rethink their strategy [but] I think they may tweak it a little bit, make a few changes,” Solhekol said on Sky Sports news.

“I think they’re gonna be busy this summer, but do I think they’re just gonna go straight out and forget about their strategy of signing young players? No, I don’t, but I would expect them to perhaps sign some more experience players, some ready-made stars.”

We’d love to believe that, but we have our doubts.

Solhekol also pointed out that Chelsea’s hierarchy might say that they have signed some more experienced players since they arrived, with Joao Pedro a prime example. In turn, one could point out that the Brazilian is still just 25, and had 0 Champions League appearances to his name when he signed.
