Felix close to Chelsea, but Gray thinks Mitrovic would be 'perfect' for Blues

talksport.com, 11 January 2023, 08:00
Chelsea are set to sign Joao Felix on loan, but the Blues have been told they have a 'perfect' player for them across the road in Aleksandar Mitrovic.

It's hoped the acquisition of Felix, who will join for the remainder of the season from Atletico Madrid, will help them with their goalscoring troubles - Graham Potter's men netting just three times in their last four Premier League matches.

Their current striker options, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Kai Havertz, have both been unable to make an impact for the club this season.

Signing the highly rated Portuguese forward Felix could be a coup for Chelsea, who are currently tenth in the Premier League, but talkSPORT's Micky Gray believes they should look to make a move for Mitrovic, who has been prolific for Fulham this season.

Gray told talkSPORT: "I think they need an out-and-out striker. What's wrong with Mitrovic, can they get him out of Fulham in January?

"If Chelsea have got the money like they say they've got, go and get him because he will get goals for Chelsea. I don't understand it.

"If you think about it, you're looking for a man who stays in between the 18 yard lines and scores goals.

"That's exactly what Chelsea need right now, whether you spend £40/50million on somebody like him. He's perfect for Chelsea right now."

Felix is on course to be their fourth signing this month, following arrivals of Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos.

Meanwhile at Fulham, Mitrovic sits on 11 goals in 15 games during the Premier League so far this season.
