Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has made a passionate plea for the club to sign two of England’s brightest young stars after their impressive display in a 2-0 victory over Ireland.
Speaking from Old Trafford, Drogba publicly urged Chelsea to target Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze, who delivered standout performances in the match.
His comments have added to the growing criticism from Chelsea fans about the club’s failure to sign the pair during the summer transfer window.
Drogba was full of admiration for the dynamic duo, referring to them as “absolute cheat codes” and lamenting Chelsea’s missed opportunity to bring them to Stamford Bridge.
He questioned the club’s transfer strategy, expressing disbelief that Chelsea didn’t make a move for Gordon or Eze, especially after watching their electrifying performances for England.
“He and Anthony Gordon look electric so far,” Drogba remarked, praising the two players. “For me, they are the best players in the England team right now.
Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze were the standout performers in the 2-0 win over Ireland.
They showed exactly what Chelsea are missing in this squad – a natural winger in Gordon and an exceptional attacking midfielder in Eze.
They get in behind defenses, cause problems, and bring balance and creativity. Chelsea needs this signing to be ELITE.”
Following Drogba’s comments, Chelsea fans quickly echoed his sentiments on social media. Many supporters have pointed out that the club’s attack lacks the kind of flair and creativity that Gordon and Eze could provide.
Although Chelsea made several high-profile signings during the recent transfer window, many fans feel that the club missed out on two key players who could elevate the team.
One fan tweeted, “Drogba is spot on! Eze and Gordon are exactly what Chelsea needs. I don’t understand how we missed out on them, especially after performances like this.”
Another fan expressed frustration, saying, “Watching those two rip it up for England while we’re struggling for creativity is so frustrating. Imagine them in Chelsea blue – they’d be unstoppable.”
Anthony Gordon, known for his blistering pace and direct attacking style, consistently troubled Ireland’s defense during the match.
Meanwhile, Eze showcased his technical skill and playmaking abilities, creating numerous chances for his teammates.
Their performances underscored the type of attacking spark that many Chelsea fans have been craving.
Despite Chelsea’s heavy investment in their squad, Drogba believes the club missed a golden opportunity to add two players who could make a significant impact.
With Chelsea aiming to return to the top of English football, Drogba’s frustration mirrors the growing impatience among fans, who feel the squad still lacks the creative spark needed to challenge for titles.
“These two could have been absolute cheat codes at Chelsea,” Drogba continued. “They would’ve provided the balance and creativity that this team needs.
Watching them for England, it’s clear they have what it takes to thrive at a top club like Chelsea.
We need players who can take us to the next level, and Gordon and Eze are those players.”
Both Gordon and Eze have been in exceptional form, with their performances for both club and country catching the attention of several top European clubs.
Their ability to influence games and create moments of magic has only increased their value, making them two of the most sought-after young talents in English football.
As the January transfer window approaches, Drogba’s public criticism of Chelsea’s transfer policy could add pressure on the club’s board to reconsider its approach.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see if the club will respond to the growing calls to pursue Gordon and Eze.
While Chelsea has made several big signings, the addition of these two England stars could be the key to unlocking the team’s full potential.
For now, Chelsea supporters are left wondering what could have been, as Gordon and Eze continue to shine on the international stage.
Whether Chelsea will act on Drogba’s advice remains to be seen, but the demand for reinforcements is only growing louder.
