Sterling, Aubameyang Great Signings

Speaking exclusively to Genting, he said: “I still don’t understand why Man City let Sterling go and let him go to Chelsea. 

“It’s great to see him doing well. He has hit the ground running and right now is Chelsea’s danger man.

“I think Aubameyang is a good signing [too]. If you get him happy, he’s going to score. Younger strikers are going to cost a hell of a lot and that’s why I think it’s quite a clever signing.

“He knows the league and loves living in London, if they can get him settled, he’ll get Chelsea a handful of goals this season.”

Kalidou Koulibaly Needs Time

Johnson also has faith in another new addition, 31-year-old Kalidou Koulibaly, who has had a mixed start to life at Chelsea.

“Koulibaly has got all the attributes to be a good centre-half for a few [more] years,” he said. 

“He had a good start but has been found out and made a few mistakes. 

“The potential is there, he just needs more time to understand the Premier League and realise there’s no such thing as an easy game.”

Chilwell Remains First Choice

Marc Cucurella is yet another new defensive recruit, having signed from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer, but Johnson feels Ben Chilwell should remain first choice at left wing-back.

“I have always been a fan of Chilwell,” he said. “I like him going forward but Cucurella also looks like he’s really good on the ball.

“Cucurella is the more technical player and better on the ball, but I think I like Chilwell’s engine and the way he gets forward.

“I’d start with Chilwell.”
