ESPN FC’s Dan Thomas sits down with Alejandro Moreno, Julien Laurens and Steve Nicol to react to reports that Napoli’s Dries Mertens is linked to a deal with Chelsea. Laurens says Chelsea’s interest in Mertens could open things up for Olivier Giroud to leave Stamford Bridge. Nicol adds that Mertens will score goals for a Chelsea side that are struggling in that department.

Look at Zola he was 5ft 6in
This is A HIT Transfer ✅
Plays all over the forwad line
He Knows where the net is!
Will Chelsea have enough time to sign Dries Mertens as the transfer window closes tomorrow as well Napoli are in the champions league
Mertens literally plays up top are these guys dumb
Pay what ever you have to Chelsea, even if it’s 30 mil just bring Mertens in PLEASE
Moreno is stupide…
he's old. who needs him?
Imagine Eriksen winning a trophy this season for inter
Any player than Bench forever, lindgard mount would be a blessing.
How about Dries Martins with Leicester? Or Celtic? Or Ajax?
Yes please leave Napoli selfish Belgian so Lozano can get more playing time
Shut up stevie
Mertens would be perfect!! My FIFA Ultimate Team is tired of using 93 Kane up front and Scream Aguero is just stupidly expensive. Mertens would be way better, not to mention cheaper. Make it happen, Lamps.
Manson mount has run out of juice, I agree
Chelsea please sign dries mertens
mertens plays as a striker at napoli
It would be a terrible mistake they don't need him lol
Morenos is clueless Mertens play has a striker and got 28 goals
10mil + Giroud would be a real good deal for all parties!
Man United already got a top player and are honestly pretty much about to be in top four.
We better have martens…
Hashtag moreno is a joke
He is only 4 short of becoming Napoli's all time goalscorer and the club is not willing to release him now maybe in the summer
morenos is so dumb
Dries is a perfect signing but….. Chelsea needs more than 1 signing.
Well Pulisic is injured at the moment and has contributed 6 goals and 6 assists in 23 apps so he's fine, Willian seems to be playing with confidence under Lampard compared to last season with Sarri and Pedro and Hudson-Odoi just don't seem to be doing enough grant it Hudson-Odoi just came back from injury and has shown flashes of what he can do, but Mertens is definitely the type of player Chelsea need at this moment to solidify top 4
I feel like Ale Moreno speaks because he doesn’t wanna feel left out because half of the time he talks nonsense
Willian is about the leave Chelsea after playing plenty of years for them & these guys are still pronouncing his name ' William ''! 😑😑
He will stay at napoli until summer and then he’ll go to inter. They offered him a good contract
I really want Mertens in the premier league.
Marten is a striker. Wow, how embarrassing, just embarrassing!
Martens is like 32 yo. On a slower league, Serie A, or Bundelsliga for example, he still can be effective. In EPL, nope. CBs are way more quicker.
I'm so confused why they're saying he plays in similar positions as the others when we clearly see him as a number 9 at napoli and bagging in goals with his "small" size. Dries Mertens is a true finisher.
Lol. Mertens is little. So are Aguero, Salah, Mane. What's your point?
He won’t leave , he’s 4-5 goals away from being the Napoli top goalscorer of all time
Oh yeah mertens is almost like sancho 😀
Do they not know that mertens has played primarily through the middle in the last 3-4 years
Moreno dude, Mertens plays upfront and scores tons of goals. It will take time for him but would sure score goals and convert chances.
Smh. Mertens plays as a striker for Napoli. It’s obvious these guys don’t watch serie a
Weird that Steve cared about another team than liverpool
Mertens has nothing new to offer Chelsea because pulisic, Willian and other players at Chelsea play the same way😏
They need Lampard to get the jersey out of retirement.
Why didn't you sell Ale Moreno is the January window?
But Dries Mertens can play as a striker so what is Ale saying
It appears Ale doesn't know Mertens is "a guy that plays down the middle".
mertens scored 28 league goals as a converted cf and theyre saying he cant play in the middle. if mertens goes to chelsea hed be the best player on the team'
