Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, a former player for Chelsea, wants the team to choose Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur over former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Since his departure from Manchester United earlier this week, Ronaldo has been connected to a move to Chelsea.

But Hasselbaink wants Boehly to sign Kane from Tottenham over Ronaldo, who is currently a free agent.

“I’d have done Ronaldo for Chelsea in the summer for one year, but obviously now I think the priorities are bigger in the summer,” Hasselbaink told Grosvenor Casinos.

“I would try to persuade [Harry] Kane to come." That would be a very controversial move, but surely he is going to want to win things. "Surely he knows he is not going to win with the Spurs.”

He added, “Surely he’d want to be with the club that’s going to go for it and is going to try to win trophies or be closer to winning the trophies, so for me, they should go for him.”
