Petit tells Chelsea: Stop buying players!

Former France midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes Chelsea should sell fringe players this summer.

The former Blues, Arsenal and Barcelona star believes they need to reduce the size of their squad.

Chelsea are looking to sell players, particularly those from the country, with Trevoh Chalobah on the squad list.

As part of Euro 2024 coverage by bet365Petit said: “Every transfer window, we ask ourselves the same questions about Chelsea. I saw that they were interested in Lille’s Jonathan David, but don’t they already have enough players?

“I think they have enough players. If they want to recruit more, they must first sell some. I mean, before they think about signing new players, they should try to sell a few.

“They also need to keep Conor Gallagher.

“Every time I open a newspaper or go on the internet I see so many players linked to Chelsea. They can only play with 11 players on the field. So what’s the point of bringing back so many players when they’ve only just signed a new manager?

“So it’s going to take weeks, weeks, months to put everything in place, to understand the tactical organization, the management, everything.

“If they’re happy to change 40% of the dressing room every six months, then good luck to them. To be honest, I don’t understand. »
