Transfer: He’ll do good job – Joe Cole hands Chelsea signing to make for Alonso

Former Chelsea star, Joe Cole, has urged his old club to sign Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford for their new manager Xabi Alonso.

Cole believes the England international would do a good job at Stamford Bridge.

Rashford spent the whole of last season on loan at Barcelona from Man United.

The 28-year-old did well for the Catalan club, scoring 14 goals and helping Hansi Flick’s side to win the LaLiga title ahead of Real Madrid.

“It’s just a matter of the wages and the valuation,” Cole told The Sun.

“Rashford ticks a lot of boxes, but you don’t want to spend a fortune on him – he’d do a good job for Chelsea.

“He needs to keep going. Marcus needs to keep his confidence up because he rebuilt himself at Barcelona, and there’s still another level for him to jump to.

“He’s someone Chelsea should inquire about, but it’ll depend on the deal.”
