EPL: They’ll help young players – Joe Cole names two stars Chelsea should sign

Former Chelsea star, Joe Cole, wants his old club to sign Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski and Manchester City’s John Stones.

Cole argued that both veterans would significantly strengthen Liam Rosenior’s squad by helping the young players at Chelsea.

In an interview with Metro, the Englishman explained that Lewandowski, available on a free transfer when his Barça contract ends, could mentor young forwards Liam Delap and João Pedro.

“We need experience—someone to come in and support the younger players. I’d be looking at Lewandowski. He’s a big name. I think he could really help João Pedro and Liam Delap,” Cole said.

He also floated the idea of signing Stones if City let his deal run down.

“He’s another who could be a major presence in the dressing room—helping and nurturing the excellent young centre-halves we have at Chelsea.”
