A player like Toni Kroos is needed to ease the current “chaos” at Stamford Bridge, according to former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda.

As Kroos’ Real Madrid contract comes to an end, he will become a free agent in the summer, and Malouda believes he would be a great addition to Mauricio Pochettino’s young team.

The former winger from France told Gambling Zone, “I think Chelsea should be looking to bring in a player like Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos this summer.” “He is a very accomplished player with a long history. Chelsea requires a player or two with Kroos’ caliber.

“Players with a football IQ so high they can analyze every situation on the field, make the best choices, and guide the squad. Over the summer, I would like to bring in more profiles like this one to the club.

“We are looking for athletes with experience and ambition who are eager to join Chelsea’s exciting project for the next season. This summer, there will be a few seasoned players available. Kroos would be a great addition, but it’s not always about individuals—it’s about identifying the appropriate types who set high standards both on and off the field.”

A key player for Real Madrid since his arrival in 2014, Kroos provided a reassuring response in March when asked about his contract status. “There aren’t any problems at all,” he declared.

“I have too good of a relationship with the club to be having problems. Everybody is at ease. Both the club and I are enjoying the season. I’m hoping we can come up with a workable answer.”

Malouda expressed concern about Chelsea’s inconsistent play under Pochettino, highlighting in particular the team’s propensity to lose steam during games—this past Sunday’s 2-2 tie with Sheffield United serving as a prime example.

“What we’re seeing at Chelsea this season is a lack of consistency, not just over the course of the season, but over the course of the same game!” he stated. “Sometimes when you watch Chelsea, you get the impression that the team is playing brilliantly and is capable of scoring four goals in the first half.

“I was at Stamford Bridge for the FA Cup match between Leicester and Chelsea. Chelsea was playing really hard, and everything seemed great until it didn’t. This Chelsea team only needs one slip-up to lose confidence, and then mayhem breaks out. On the field, Chelsea’s players must learn how to regulate their emotions.

“Due to the squad’s makeup, they lack the emotional equilibrium that lets you maintain control of the game. Because every player is learning at the same time, you will always notice this inconsistency when you choose to concentrate on a project with a large number of younger players.”
