Overview
- The former Chelsea captain told Foot Italia he would recommend Núñez to the club, calling him a smart player who needs the right environment.
- Desailly argued Núñez’s struggles at Liverpool were confidence-related and likened his trajectory to Dennis Bergkamp’s early difficulties before thriving elsewhere.
- He noted the striker is currently with Al-Hilal and, in his view, wants a return to European football.
- Desailly suggested Chelsea could consider selling Cole Palmer to generate significant funds for reinvestment in players suited to the manager’s approach.
- The comments come as Liam Rosenior’s side sit fifth in the Premier League and target upgrades in key positions, including a striker, though no active bid was reported.
