One striker Chelsea should have signed this summer

According to former Chelsea defender, Glen Johnson one striker the club should have signed this summer was Gabriel Jesus when they had the chance.

While Jesus join Manchester City from Arsenal this summer, Johnson said he finds it “bizarre” that the Brazil star, who he described as a top player, moved to North London.

The 37-year-old told GGRecon: “With Gabriel Jesus, I think Chelsea should have bit Manchester City’s arm off to try and get him, to be honest.

“Actually, I am surprised that City even let him go. And I am certainly surprised that he’s ended up at Arsenal.

“No offence to Arsenal, but I am pretty certain that, if Chelsea had wanted him, he would have gone to Chelsea.

“It is bizarre how he left and it is bizarre where he’s landed. For me, Jesus is a top player and, though he is still young, he’s already done it for a top team in a top league, so why wouldn’t you want him?”

While the Blues didn’t sign Jesus, they were able to sign Raheem Sterling from Man City this summer.
