Ally McCoist believes Julian Álvarez faces a “simple” choice this summer as speculation intensifies around the striker’s future away from Atletico Madrid. two major Premier League rivals — Arsenal and Chelsea
Speaking on radio, McCoist said Álvarez must prioritise joining a club where he can be the clear focal point in attack, arguing that CHELSEA would offer a more natural fit. The Scotland legend insisted the Argentine would thrive as the leading striker in a young, developing squad and suggested that the west London side’s rebuilding project could accelerate with a proven finisher at its core
He told talkSPORT Bet Casino: ‘Oh, without a doubt. I think he’s got a better chance of playing more regularly at Chelsea, to tell you the truth, than he would at Arsenal. The squad at Arsenal is phenomenal.
‘They’re playing Kai Havertz, sometimes as a false nine, Gabriel Jesus is through the middle, and Leandro Trossard has played there. Alvarez is a real talent. As I say, it would surprise me to see him coming back. But in terms of where he went, I think he’d probably get more game time.
‘And you know something? CHELSEA might appeal to him because of that, because of those factors you’ve mentioned, particularly the one about a young side with a lot of potential.
‘If he came to Arsenal, they still haven’t got over the line at this moment in time. I think they will, and I think they will in a couple of years, but it’s a big six weeks coming up for Arsenal, there’s no doubt. You look at the size of Arsenal’s squad, it’s absolutely massive.
‘So, he’s probably got a better chance of getting more regular playing time with Chelsea.’
Would Alvarez join Chelsea?
If the money was right, if the club are in the Champions League and if we are competing for titles, Alvarez would make the move back to London. But he would need some convincing because he is very happy at Madrid
