Chelsea advised against signing this striker with no EPL experience

However, a former Chelsea defender, Glen Johnson, has sent the Blues message concerning their move for the 21-year-old forward.

The former football believes the Blues need an experienced attacker who has played in the Premier League to bolster their front line next season.

He pointed out that Williams is probably better than a few players Chelsea already have in their team.

Johnson in via BetFred said the Blues have so many youngsters but need need more experience in the team to compete for trophies next season.

According to the former player, the Blues need match winners and experienced players rather than an entire squad of young gems.

Chelsea are under a new manager Enzo Maresca and there are speculations about changes at the club.
