Former Chelsea winger and English football pundit Joe Cole has publicly urged his former club to launch an aggressive summer transfer bid for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford to anchor the frontline for incoming manager Xabi Alonso.
The 28-year-old England international spent the entirety of last season on a highly successful loan spell at Barcelona, where he completely revitalized his career under Hansi Flick, scoring 14 crucial goals to guide the Catalan giants to a sensational La Liga championship title ahead of bitter rivals Real Madrid.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Cole asserted that Rashford ticks every tactical box required to excel in Xabi Alonso's high-pressing system at Stamford Bridge, emphasizing that the forward has successfully rebuilt his confidence and is ready to jump to an even higher creative tier.
However, Cole cautioned that the multi-million pound transaction would ultimately depend on sensible financial structural alignment between Manchester United's valuation and Chelsea's wage capabilities.
With Chelsea desperate to establish a dominant domestic run next season, the club hierarchy is being heavily pressured to make a formal inquiry for the forward before rival European suitors complicate negotiations.
