Long-term Chelsea target Segio Aguero has admitted that he would jump at the chance of playing in the premier league for the Blues. Chelsea have been linked with a move for Aguero over the past few seasons, but with this admission it looks like they could finally get their man this summer.
The Argentine forward joined Athletico when he was 18 for £17.5m, but has now made it clear he could be tempted to leave Madrid, with Chelsea and London his preferred destination.
“Chelsea are a great club. They have become one of the most feared in Europe over recent years,” he told the Daily Express.
“I look at players like Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and they have been, and still are, the best players in their positions in the world.
“I could really learn from players like that, there is no doubt.”
Aguero, who will be at the World Cup finals this summer and is Diego Maradona’s son-in-law, insists he would have no qualms about living in England, and despite interest from Inter Milan he feels England is the place to be.
“London would be a really amazing city to live in as well, myself and my wife could be really happy there,” he said.
“Carlos Tevez is doing really well at Manchester City but, for me, it is about joining a club who are ready to challenge for honours. City are not ready yet.”
“Inter are a great club, but it is agreed that, over the last five years, the Premier League has been the strongest,” he concluded.
So are Chelsea going to make their move on the back of Aguero’s comments? If their interest was serious over the past seasons it seems certain they will. This is the closest thing to a ‘come and get me’ plea you can get.
