Jamie Carragher thinks striker would suit Blues better
Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes Christian Benteke would have suited Chelsea better.
The Belgium international completed his mega-money move to Anfield yesterday after the club agreed to trigger his release clause of £32.4million.
It makes the striker Liverpool‘s most expensive signing this summer, eclipsing what they paid Hoffenheim for Robert Firmino.
Brendan Rodgers needed a striker to add to his squad however, especially with three possibly leaving the club, but a club legend believes Benteke has made the wrong move.
Carragher believes the 24-year-old should have swapped Aston Villa for Chelsea rather than for Liverpool.
Carragher Discusses Deal
“Jose Mourinho likes that profile of forward and sets his teams up to get the best out of them.”
Benteke is a proven Premier League goalscorer, netting 42 goals in 89 Premier League appearances and Rodgers will be hoping he can bring the best out of him.
