As Chelsea prepare for yet another swoop in the January transfer market, club legend, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has claimed that Caglar Soyuncu would be a “very good” addition to what Frank Lampard is currently building at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard raided the market in the summer to bolster his ranks, after the club had exhausted its stipulated period of transfer ban.
Among those brought into the team during the summer by the English man, was experienced Brazilian defender Thiago Silva, with the 36-year-old making an immediate impact in England despite having to overcome language barriers.
Not forgetting the likes of Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech who have added a bit of creativity in the squad. However, Hasselbaink believes the team could get even stronger by investing in the right areas during upcoming markets.
The former Blues striker told Ladbrokes on the need to find further reinforcements at the back, with there options to explore at Napoli, Leicester and Inter: “A lot of people are talking about Kalidou Koulibaly but he’s 29 years old and would be very expensive.
“I actually quite like the Leicester defender, Caglar Soyuncu. I think he’d be very good at Chelsea.
“Also the defender at Inter, Milan Skriniar – everybody is talking about him, another very good player.
“So there are players out there, but it’s such a difficult position to fill at the moment.”
Despite the availability of some sleaky midfielders who can thread the eye of the needle to create chances for the team, Hasselbaink believes greater depth could also be added in that department.
The Dutchman added: “I would also like to see another creative midfielder.
“I like Mason Mount, but maybe somebody to play alongside him.
“Havertz is there, I know, but you want healthy, quality competition in that area. I don’t think Chelsea are far off at all,” he said.
