Mikel: I hope it is correct to buy Drapp. I still like Osmaine s immediate combat power

June 12 Chelsea signed Ipswich striker Drapp for a transfer fee of £30 million. The club's meritorious former player Mikel has a certain skepticism about the deal.

Mickel said: "I just hope it's a right decision. I like Drapp, who is a very hardworking young man. But can Drapp continue to prove himself in the Premier League? Can he make a difference in a big club like Chelsea? These are key questions, and it also depends on how the head coach works with him and develops him.

"We need a team to have healthy competition, and one striker alone will certainly not win the Premier League or Champions League title. We were the only one Jackson before, and now he can inspire each other with Drapp. I hope to see both of them perform best in the Club World Cup.

"If you want to invest in a player's next three or four years, then such a deal is what the club should do. But Chelsea's culture is to strive for victory now, and if you want to do this, you must introduce players like Osmayen.

"This should also be your way to compete for the trophy, because he can guarantee to bring goals to the team. Drapp is an excellent young forward, but as I said just now, he needs to prove that he can gain a foothold in a wealthy family. Did he do it when he played for Ipswich last season? Of course, the team has been relegated, so there is still a lot to consider for him.

"I certainly hope Drapp can perform well, but like many fans, I am willing to see Chelsea buy a scorer who has proven himself, a player who has performed well in Italy and Turkey, and can quickly contribute goals to the team."
