British presenter Andy Goldstein has lambasted Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly for failing to recognise Blues great Ruud Gullit during a meeting.
Earlier this month, Gullit revealed that Boehly did not recognise him after he introduced himself as an ex-Blues star and coach. He stated that the American asked him about when he played for the side in an episode of the Stick to Football podcast.
Discussing Gullit’s remarks about Boehly, Goldstein said on talkSPORT:
Ex-Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent also pitched in and added:
Goldstein, who is reportedly a Manchester United supporter, continued:
Gullit, who lifted the 1987 Ballon d’Or award, spent the final three years of his playing career at Chelsea. After arriving from Sampdoria in 1995, the Dutchman bagged seven goals in 64 overall games for the west London team. He also guided the Blues to an FA Cup victory in 1997 as a player-manager.
According to Caught Offside, Chelsea are keen to add promising winger Jamie Gittens to their ranks this summer. They are prepared to offer the winger a contract until 2030 and double the salary he earns at Borussia Dortmund.
Gittens, who could be available for a fee of between £51 million and £59 million, has attracted interest from other clubs as well. Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur are all aiming to snap up the 20-year-old.
So far this campaign, Gittens has found the back of the net 12 times and provided five assists in 46 overall appearances for Borussia Dortmund.
