Joe Cole names three experienced players that could come in and help Chelsea

This is something that Cole has been saying for a while now, along with so many others. We keep hearing that the Chelsea project will be ‘tweaked’ this summer, whatever that means. But it will be a case of believing it when we see it.

Cole puts 3 players forward

John Stones ready for England duty

The former Chelsea and England winger told The Sun:

‘I think of experienced players who can come into the squad and help out immediately. So you’re looking at who’s available, I’m thinking players like John Stones. Lewandowski, he’s coming to the end of his contract, we need a centre forward.

‘He probably fancies the Premier League and living in London, give him a year-long contract to come and play 35 games for us and help out Liam Delap and help out Joao Pedro. They need those types of players.’

On other potential transfer targets for Chelsea in the summer, Cole went on: ‘Jordan Henderson, I said Jordan Henderson last season and people laughed.

‘Look at what Brentford Football Club have done, and nobody’s going, “Hold on a minute.”

‘I know he’s not been blowing the doors off on Match of the Day. But he sets the tone, and he’s helped players around him, all the untangible things you can’t see.

‘We spent all this money on young players, but they have no one around them.’
