Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has urged the Blues to make a decisive move for France midfielder Manu Kon\u00e9, arguing the highly rated midfielder would strengthen the club\u2019s long-term ambitions amid reported interest from Premier League rivals Manchester United and Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Kon\u00e9 has emerged as one of Europe\u2019s most sought-after midfielders following a series of impressive performances in Germany and on the international stage, with several English clubs believed to be monitoring his situation ahead of the closing stages of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
Johnson believes CHELSEA<\/strong> should act quickly to secure the 25-year-old\u2019s signature before competition for the Frenchman intensifies: \u2018He has been excellent for France,\u2019 Johnson told Metro via Spinbet. \u2018A top midfielder, strong, physical, can use the ball well, pick a pass well, he is a top player, and to get into the French midfield you must be a good player<\/p>\n \u2018If Enzo leaves, he can be the perfect replacement for sure. His attributes seem to be suited to the Premier League, so I don\u2019t think he will have any issues getting used to the game at all.\u2019<\/p>\n Kone was asked about the intense speculation over his future ahead of the World Cup, but said he was keen to remain \u2018exclusively focused\u2019 on his commitments with Les Bleus.<\/p>\n \u2018Honestly, right now I\u2019m only thinking about the World Cup,\u2019 Kone said. \u2018It\u2019s my first major international competition, a tournament I\u2019ve always dreamed of playing in.<\/p>\n \u2018I want to remain exclusively focused on this. We\u2019ll talk about the future after the World Cup and see what happens.\u2019<\/p>\n While there has been no official confirmation that CHELSEA<\/strong> have submitted an offer, reports suggest the club has continued to monitor developments closely as it evaluates potential additions before the transfer window closes.<\/p>\n Johnson\u2019s endorsement is likely to resonate with supporters eager to see Chelsea add further quality to a squad undergoing continued evolution. The former England international believes Kon\u00e9 possesses the attributes required to succeed in the Premier League and could become a cornerstone of Chelsea\u2019s midfield for years to come.<\/p>\n MORE BIG CHELSEA NEWS AND GOSSIP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Latest: \u2018Joined in the biggest club in world\u2019 \u00a350M star announces after Chelsea transfer deal wrapped up!<\/strong><\/p>\n Top Read: Chelsea fans blow up social media after seeing shock \u00a350 million deal happen!<\/p>\n Must Check Out: Chelsea fans react to possible \u00a3400k-a-week signing \u2013 Midfielder makes Blues decision \u2013 Blues blow up amid \u00a3120M rumours<\/strong><\/p>\n Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nLOVE CHELSEA?
