Chelsea encouraged to bring world class World Cup winner – Maresca ‘would love’ to sign him

Former Blues star Glen Johnson has opened up and claimed that CHELSEA should look to sign Lautaro Martinez – as he could be the dream signing for Blues boss Enzo Maresca.

Enzo Maresca has come in and started the season in decent fashion – he has got this side playing some very exciting football and that is why they are better off this season that they were last season.

The club already have a number of talented forwards, including Nicolas Jackson, who has produced five goals and three assists in eight top-flight games this term.

Christopher Nkunku has also impressed for the west Londoners with seven goals across 12 games in all competitions so far this season, but Johnson has opened up and claimed that the club need to sign a proven striker in the coming windows.

In order to close the gap to the likes of Manchester City, though, we may need to add a superstar and Johnson feels Inter Milan’s Martinez is the perfect fit.

Martinez has been at Inter Milan since 2018, conjuring up 133 goals and 46 assists across 291 games for the Italian side.

‘I would love to see Chelsea make a move for Lautaro Martinez at Inter Milan,’ Johnson told Genting Casino. ‘He’s a proper goalscorer. I’m sure there are loads of clubs that would love to sign him, not just CHELSEA .

‘He’s one of those players who probably doesn’t get the respect that his talent deserves or doesn’t get a fuss made over his talent.

‘I don’t understand why that is because he’s got everything that you would look for in a striker. If I could pick anyone for Chelsea to sign, I’d pick him.’

IcChelseanews view…

Jackson and Nkunku have been brilliant this season and are performing very well – i doubt a new striker will be signed in January – and i believe that these two could score some serious goals in the coming months.
