Shaun Wright-Phillips has played for both Man City and Chelsea, and today has been talking about one of the potentially big deals the clubs could do this summer.
Enzo Fernandez has been linked with City as well as Real Madrid, but SWP doesn’t think that will happen.
City’s midfield options
“I think Xabi coming into Chelsea will stabilise that. But I honestly don’t think he’s [Enzo] somebody City will go for because they have enough midfielders to play that role,” Wright-Phillips said in quotes picked up by the Daily Mirror.
“They have Nico Gonzalez, obviously Rodri is there, Phil Foden and Nico O’Reilly who can easily play there. So they have enough players to play that number eight role.”
While we agree that City might not want to spend big money on Enzo, we don’t agree with SWP’s logic here at all. Nico Gonzalez could leave this summer, Rodri is also linked with a departure and is getting old, Phil Foden is not an 8 except by the most stretched definition, and O’Reilly is needed at left back.
In fact, the more we think about it, the more City could do with a player like Enzo…
In other news…
We’ve only just hit June, but some Chelsea fans are already getting frustrated by a perceived lack of action from their club in the transfer market.
Julian Alvarez has been called a “perfect” attacker for Chelsea to sign this summer, which makes sense. But we just can’t compete for players on that level right now.
