Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has recommended that the London club's management pay attention to striker Robert Lewandowski and defender John Stones. Both players will become free agents this summer.
Idman.Biz reports that the 44-year-old former football player spoke about this in a statement to the British media.
It is worth remembering that the 37-year-old striker is leaving Barcelona at the end of the season. The 31-year-old defender will say goodbye to Manchester City.
Joe Cole stated that they do not have accurate information about Chelsea's financial situation:
"We don't know what Chelsea's financial situation is like. Therefore, it is easy to say "let's buy this player, let's transfer another one". We may have to sell players, we don't know.
But we are absolutely sure of one thing: the team does not need major changes. Because the young football players you trusted three years ago are the same players. They just need something I've been saying for the last two or three years: they need to have experienced football players by their side. People who can help them during the match, give advice on the field, and share their understanding of the game. That's what needs to be built.
Even if players are to be sold, there are those who will not get close to the main squad anyway. But the club should make this decision, not me. After that, it is possible to invite football players like John Stones and Robert Lewandowski. They are free agents and do not need to play every minute of every match. But they know what victory is, they understand the club's culture, they can still benefit on the field and do their job. In this case, other football players also receive support within the team. This support should not always come only from coaches".
