FPL Comment: Broja had a mix season on loan at Southampton in 2021/22. In spells he was an excellent FPL asset. A move to a team like Everton where he would be more sure of minutes would make him far more attractive to FPL managers than he is at Chelsea due to perceived lack of minutes in London.
David Ornstein: Chelsea to move for Ronaldo?
David Ornstein is reporting that Chelsea are thinking about making an offer for Ronaldo. Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy at United’s lack of ambition.
FPL comment: Chelsea will need to sign a replacement for Lukaku if he does leave the club this summer. Ronaldo is a proven goal scorer and Chelsea’s Champions League football will appeal. At Manchester United FPL managers are unluckily to invest in the forward, however if he moves to Chelsea his appeal would strengthen.
