Christopher Discusses On Haaland To Chelsea Transfer

The Technical Director of RB Leipzig has discussed on Chelsea Haaland chase, stating Chelsea would not be making a mistake if they went all out for Erling Haaland.

According to his interview with SportBILD, he stated:

‘When I look at the market and see who I would spend that much money on,’ Vivell said. ‘He would probably be one of the two.

‘If you can secure him now and pay that much for him, you are not making a mistake because he’s still so young.’

The Norwegian sensational striker scored 41 goals in 41 games last season and will be a good addition to the Chelsea attack which is currently lacking a top striker quality.

‘On top of that, you have him under contract for five years and Haaland is already guaranteed something then,’ he added.

‘If he stays injury-free, he can dominate the next 10 to 12 years like Cristiano Ronaldo.’
