Saha ‘wouldn’t be surprised’ if Kounde replaced Rudiger
Former Premier League striker Louis Saha has insisted he ‘wouldn’t be surprised’ if Chelsea replaced Antonio Rudiger with French defender Jules Kounde this summer.
Rudiger is set to depart the Blues at the end of the season and Saha believes Kounde, who has previously linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, could be the ideal man to fill the void left by the Germany international.
Speaking to Gambling Deals, Saha said: “He’s a very smart lad, he’s been a top defender for his club side and the national team.
“He’s proved himself as a top defender and his main quality is his intensity. Both Jules and Tony have different styles, Rudiger is a bit more aggressive on 50/50s.
“But Jules would definitely be an exciting player for the Premier League and I’m sure he’d love to play in the Premier League at some point.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he joined Chelsea, as they are always looking to strengthen and he is a fantastic young player. He wouldn’t have any issues adapting to the league, maybe a few months but he’d be a great addition.”
