Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has quipped his former side should try to beat Premier League rivals Chelsea to acquire the services of 20-year-old Croatian international Joško Gvardiol after his impressive performances at the 2022 World Cup.
The centre-back has arguably been Croatia's player of the tournament so far after they reached the quarter final stage yesterday having beaten Japan 4-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal and extra time.
It was thought that the Blues would find a way to bring him to Stamford Bridge after new owner Todd Boehly's arrival in the summer but it was decided he'd remain at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga - where he's already made close to 70 appearances in just two seasons.
