6 Goals As A Defender – 3 Reasons Why Chelsea Should Not Sign This Arsenal Bound Attacking Right Back

3 reasons why Chelsea shouldn’t sign Serge Aurier

The 21 year old Ivorian has been very impressive for French club Toulouse and has been in the radar for many premier league clubs looking for a good young left back with a bright future. He is known for his attacking skills and he has bagged 6 goals this season still now. Impressive record for a defender. He’s been an Arsenal target for quite some time. But some teams may do well if they don’t sign him, and one of them is Chelsea. Here are three reasons why

1. With Serge already expressing his wish to join Arsenal…

Serge Aurier said it would be a “dream come true” for him to join Arsenal.  And Arsenal have strong reasons to lure him into their team and he’s not someone whom Chelsea can spend extra money to lure, like they did with Salah. Arsenal have ageing right back Sagna refusing to sign a contract, which ideally means Aurier will be first choice if he joins Arsenal, something which Chelsea will not provide him.

2. Not another Right Back Please

Chelsea have two well performing Right Backs- Ivanovic and Azpilicueta. Another right back, especially a promising one will only add to the bench and nothing more. It would be a mountainous task for Aurier to displace established players from the starting line-up. Despite the fact that Aurier can play in many defensive positions, under Mourinho it would be tough to break into the squad as he tends to establish his first choice defence once for the whole season. There is also Chelsea’s home-grown player Tomas Kalas who can play central defence as well as Right Back.

3. Sign Shaw instead

Luke Shaw is a younger left back already proven a star in the Premier League. He’s one of the most talented young Englishman who has already made an international appearance at age 18, in a friendly. He’s an home-grown English player, something which Chelsea will have to consider as top priority over Serge Aurier as 3 out of the 4 Home-grown players Chelsea currently have- Lampard, Terry and Cole are soon going to retire leaving the team devoid of depth.
