Former Chelsea and Arsenal defender William Gallas has encouraged Graham Potter to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. The 37-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge ahead of the World Cup after he and Manchester United parted company.
As the five-time Ballon d'Or winner set his sights on international glory with Portugal, speculation of a move to west London quietened down. But, after Ronaldo's side were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco in the quarter-final, talks concerning his future have reignited, with Gallas urging the Blues to complete a deal.
As quoted by the Metro, the former France international claimed that Chelsea would 'benefit' from signing the Portuguese star because he has a point to prove. With Potter in the market for a new striker, Ronaldo has been touted as the ideal short-term fix as he looks to avenge a sorrowful end to the year.
