EPL News: Ancelotti likes Carroll
Chelsea’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti seems to have finally come to terms with the fact that his team’s star striker Didier Drogba is not getting any younger and faster therefore has now started to look sat players who could potentially replace the Ivorian
in fusture.
Reports have confirmed that the manager seems to have set his sights on a young English man who is still proving himself in Premier League. The player that the manager seems to have started to slowly pursue is Andy Carroll. Ancelotti was reported to have
said: "Carroll is a very good striker. He's young and has a chance, working hard, to arrive at the same level as Drogba.
"But they are different players. Drogba has more power and ability to score different kinds of goals, while Carroll is good in the air but has to improve."
Rumours about another player who would soon be on his way to Chelsea was Liverpool’s Fernando Torres. However it now appears as though the chances of that happening are close to none.
When Ancelotti was asked about a potential move for Torres, he was reported to have said: "It isn't just Torres who has created problems for us. Carlos Tevez is the same. They are fantastic strikers and sometimes it can happen you concede goals to these
strikers.
"When you have Drogba and Nicolas Anelka, it's difficult to think about Torres. The day Drogba cannot play and maintain this level of condition, we can think about buying another striker like Torres. But when Drogba is not able, Torres will be old."
Ancelotti seems to have finally made his thoughts clear on the Torres saga, while at the same time revealing that a move for a player like Carroll is still not out of the question for the team. Carroll seems to have almost all the attributes that a young
Drogba had and also appears to have the same mentality as the striker.
Nonetheless, the manager is quite unlikely to make a move for the player in the coming season or two, however being football a shock move for Carroll could be made by Chelsea as early as January.
