Chelsea can correct their £92 million mistake this summer by signing Rashford Chelsea desperately needed to upgrade the left-wing position last summer and signed Alejandro Garnacho (£40 million). The Blues also paid £52 million to bring Jamie Gittens to Stamford Bridge. Unfortunately, neither forward has delivered the goods for Chelsea this season, and they could be forced to return to the market to correct their huge mistake.

Chelsea need at least one top-level winger to come in and provide goals and assists from day one. There are not many options in the market. Enter Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford.

He has excelled on loan in Spain, bagging 14 goals and 14 assists in 47 appearances. However, Barcelona are still not jumping at the chance to sign him for £26 million, serving up an opportunity for Chelsea. Rashford would be a stellar signing for Chelsea, giving the Blues the senior, lethal force that they have been missing in attack.

He has been lauded as a ‘fantastic player’ . Chelsea desperately needed someone to step up when Cole Palmer’s numbers dwindled, but Gittens and Garnacho failed the test. Rashford is the kind of forward the Blues were crying out for in that moment.
