Sonia Bompastor did not hesitate to praise Manchester City forward Khadija Shaw, saying it would be excellent to have her at Chelsea.
Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor was very clear in her words when asked whether she would like to have Khadija Shaw on her team, saying that only a crazy person would not want a player of that caliber at her club. These comments arise because the player's contract with Manchester City will end in the summer, so rumors of a possible arrival at Chelsea are growing increasingly intense.
"I am seeing reports linking big players with Chelsea, and that is normal. We are ambitious, and we want to have many top-level players on our team. Bunny Shaw plays at City, so it is not my place to comment on that."
"Who would not have her on their personal wish list? Maybe someone is crazy! But I insist that we be respectful, since Bunny plays at City this season. Without a doubt, she is a great player," she told BBC Sport.
But one asks oneself, does Chelsea really need Shaw? Given the quality of the players the club currently has, for example, Sam Kerr, the Australian who just made history by becoming the player with the most goals in the history of Chelsea Women.
Lauren James, who is shaping up to be one of the team's pillars, was leading Chelsea's attack while Sam and Mayra were unavailable. Both she and her brother, Reece James, seem to be highly valued by their teammates and the institution.
Mayra Ramirez, despite being injured for months, has a quality that is irrefutable, to the point that she has raised the interest of Real Madrid, who would be interested in securing her services even though she cannot play at the moment. She is a natural striker with great strength and lethal in front of goal, which is why Chelsea is eagerly awaiting her return to the pitch.
It is clear that Shaw also has an impressive resume, being the pillar of Manchester City and the Golden Boot winner this season, leading the team to its second WSL title and increasing her market value.
Time will tell what awaits Shaw, whether she will renew or leave Manchester. For now, she can celebrate the title, and Chelsea can gear up to try to win it all next season.
