Eboue is a talent that could make a name for himself in the game over the next few seasons, it is a good decision to see him come here, hopefully he is good enough for make an impact in the coming seasons.

STILL CHANCE TO SIGN DAVID

CHELSEA transfer target Jonathan David is still on the transfer market, despite the many reports in the media which have claimed that the striker is in talks with Italian giants Inter Milan about a summer move

David has earned a reputation as one of the finest strikers in Europe’s top five leagues. The 24-year-old has scored 97 goals in 202 appearances for the Ligue 1 giants. His displays alone have caught the attention of some of the biggest teams in the game.

He has scored 13 goals for Lille this season and with the club seemingly still interested in adding a new striker to that attack, there has been talk that we are ready to open up negotiations with the striker and come to some sort of pre-agreement deal that sees him get signed at the end of the season.

But now Per Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, Canada international and Lille forward Jonathan David is not in talks to join Serie A giants Inter. The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from the French club with Bayern Munich, Inter and several Premier League clubs eager to sign him.

Any teams that had hope of signing David in the January window were recently shot down, as the Canadian star has hinted that he will not leave Lille in the middle of the season: “Going to a club mid-season is never easy,” David told The Athletic.

“It’s not like the beginning of a season where you have a pre-season, you get to know your teammates, you have time to gel.

“In January, things are very hectic. It’s about right now. It’s tougher.”

JACKSON SENT OSIMHEN MESSAGE

Former CHELSEA star Gus Poyet has urged Nicolas Jackson to challenge the Blues over their alleged pursuit of Victor Osimhen, with constant reports in the media suggesting that the Premier League giants are still keen on trying to sign the Nigerian star in the coming windows.

There has been alot of transfer speculation in the media that we are still interested in getting a deal done for a new striker in the January window, despite their great start to the new season, and Osimhen is a player that the club are very much interested in signing.

But former Blues forward and Uruguay international Gus Poyet heaped praise on Senegalese striker Jackson as he spoke on how the youngster has improved in stature since his debut in the Premier League last summer.

Indeed, he is undoubtedly the club’s first-choice striker now, although talk of Osimhen arriving, given his reputation as one of the top marksmen in Europe, isn’t likely to sit well with the former Villarreal forward.

Speaking to BetVictor, Poyet said: “I absolutely loved him in Spain, I think he was impressive. Again, he came to a club where it was 50/50. A striker needs a team to play well for him to go and finish, which is very important.

‘He scored a lot last year, the problem was that CHELSEA weren’t doing well and people thought he didn’t score enough. Again, the team has settled and he’s taken advantage of that.

“Competition for place up front with a new signing? If I were him, I would say ‘bring whoever you want’. I’m here every weekend.

‘Now is he going to score a hat-trick against Spurs again? It’s difficult, and that game last year was so unique with the high line.”
