Former Chelsea star Glen Johnson has claimed that his old side should have signed Arsenal's new striker Gabriel Jesus this summer.
The Gunners wrapped up a deal for Jesus earlier this month, paying reigning Premier League champions Manchester City £45 million for his services following a 2021/22 campaign that saw the Brazilian provide 25 direct goal contributions across all competitions - impressive numbers when you consider that he played the majority of his matches out wide for Pep Guardiola's side.
However, new Blues owner Todd Boehly should have pursued a deal for the 25-year-old, according to former England international Johnson, who played for the west Londoners between 2003 and 2007. Speaking about Jesus to GGRecon, he said: "A striker that’s already performed within the Premier League is always better than a striker brought in from a different league. They’ve already established what they’re capable of.
