Ex-Chelsea star Glen Johnson has advised the Blues to pursue Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, calling him the perfect addition to bolster their frontline under new boss Xabi Alonso.
Alvarez has emerged as a hot commodity in the transfer market, drawing attention from European giants like Arsenal and Barcelona. Reports suggest Atletico is hesitant to sell to Barcelona but may entertain bids from other suitors.
Speaking exclusively to Football London, Johnson emphasized Chelsea’s urgent need for a lethal striker, stating that elite Premier League contention demands a reliable 20-goal-a-season scorer—a role currently vacant in their squad.
The former defender singled out Alvarez as an ideal candidate, highlighting the Argentine’s probable departure from Atletico and urging Chelsea to act swiftly to secure his signature.
