Arsenal and Chelsea have registered interest in signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, fueling speculation about his potential transfer this summer. The forward himself has expressed uncertainty about his future, stating he does not know if he will be at the club next season. According to Metro - Main, Ally McCoist believes Julian Alvarez should choose Chelsea over Arsenal for more playing time.
It remains unknown which club Alvarez will choose if he leaves Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone hopes Alvarez stays at the club for many years, emphasizing his happiness and goal-scoring form. The club values Alvarez at £129 million, but whether he will actually leave this summer is unclear.
Ebs is the one that, I think, last two-three weeks, he is a little bit pissed off with me maybe, in a good way. Because I tell him all the time, ‘Look, you have to have the ball at your feet at least 20 times per game. Tell people, scream. If they don’t pass to you, tell him to pass.’ And not to drop in there (number six role). This is a holding midfielder’s role, to build and give the ball to the attacking players. I keep saying to him every day now. Before the game, I say, ‘I’m counting now.’ Because he is that good, you know? When you see someone who is so good, and you see him not having an impact or doing well, you want to...
In other news, Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has admitted he may have annoyed Eberechi Eze with constant tactical advice. According to Daily Mirror - Sport, Gabriel Jesus repeatedly urges Eberechi Eze to get on the ball more often in games and training.
Oh, without a doubt. I think he’s got a better chance of playing more regularly at Chelsea, to tell you the truth, than he would at Arsenal. The squad at Arsenal is phenomenal. They’re playing Kai Havertz, sometimes as a false nine, Gabriel Jesus is through the middle, and Leandro Trossard has played there. Alvarez is a real talent. As I say, it would surprise me to see him coming back. But in terms of where he went, I think he’d probably get more game time. And you know something? Chelsea might appeal to him because of that, because of those factors you’ve mentioned, particularly the one about a young side with a lot of potential. If he came to Arsenal, they still haven’t got over the line at this moment in time. I think they will, and I think they will in a couple of years, but it’s a big six weeks coming up for Arsenal, there’s no doubt. You look at the size of Arsenal’s squad, it’s absolutely massive. So, he’s probably got a better chance of getting more regular playing time with Chelsea.
