Football pundit says Chelsea should sign 33-year-old Premier League centre back Football pundit Troy Deeney says that Chelsea would look better if they had Everton’s James Tarkowski in their back line.

And to an extent, we all know that he’s absolutely right there. Chelsea lack real dominance, leadership, aerial dominance, and physicality at the back. For me, that’s been clear to see.
Tarkowski does certainly provide all of that as well as Premier League experience. Deeney on Tarkowski As per 4th Official , Deeney said on Tarkowski: “He made those tackles when needed and, more importantly, was a calming presence in their backline. “How Chelsea would love a centre-back with that kind of gumption, especially given the shaky defending they have shown at times.
” To be honest though, if Chelsea were looking at an Everton centre back to sign, it would be Jarrad Branthwaite.
