Former Blues star Jason Cundy has opened up and claimed that Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez ‘is the type of player’ that he would like Chelsea to sign, amid speculation the club are making moves to get a transfer deal done.
Over the past few weeks, it is no secret that CHELSEA have been heavily linked with a move for Julian Alvarez ever since news broke that Spanish giants Atletico Madrid would be open to letting the little striker leave the club during the summer transfer window.
However – CHELSEA are not the only club that is interested in a move for Alvarez at the end of the season, as there are also alot more reports in the media which have claimed that Arsenal are actually leading the chase to sign the forward for a fee of £82 million
The 26-year-old contributed 20 Premier League goals during his Etihad spell before Atlético secured his signature for a massive £82 million in 2024, and he’s since bagged 40 goals and 13 assists across 89 appearances, though recent form has dipped with just one goal in his last 13 outings across all competitions.
What’s more, Alvarez is said to be open to the prospect of returning to England as Chelsea eye a move.
Now, amid all the speculation and rumours, Cundy told talkSPORT’s Inside Chelsea show. “We often talk about an off the peg type of player, he fits that type of player that we need.
“That is the type of player I’d like us to sign more of. He’s Premier League ready. You’re not going to be waiting for someone to adapt to the Premier League.
“There’s a lot to like about him, but it’s a lot of money.”
IcFootballnews Says….
Chelsea are in need of adding a striker to the attack that has the ability to score goals on a weekly basis, Alvarez would bring real quality to that Blues front line if they were able to get a transfer deal done.
There will be alot or rumours between now and the end of the season, but Alvarez is one player that could make a real difference to that Blues attack, even if he does come with a massive high asking price and a big wage demand.
