It’s just a matter of when. He’s doing what great goalscorers do, and there aren’t many better than him. “First and foremost, he’s the third player to get 200 goals. Only myself and [Wayne] Rooney have done that, so it’s a small club. “His form is as good as ever. His team’s not doing as well but his stats, that doesn’t seem to be affecting him at all. “He had a huge disappointment at the World Cup but I think he’s come back mentally stronger than ever, and that doesn’t surprise me. I’m a huge fan of his. He’s a fantastic player. “I’ve had it [the record] for such a long time that I’ve always said it’ll go one day. “I thought Rooney might have a great chance of doing it.

He will have seen the last few games from United and seen that if he joined that attack they could be special.” “He can be recognised as one of the best in the world. He has a modern way of playing, but at the same time, he’s very old school. I think he can reach higher levels, especially in terms of personal achievements because the guy can do it, and he’s a terrific guy and a great ambassador for the Premier League. I really wish he will become a Manchester United player.” Manchester United is expected to bid for Harry Kane in the summer.

“Chelsea aren’t the same team when he doesn’t play, as his presence allows the likes of Reece James and Marc Cucurella or Ben Chilwell to bomb forward in attack.”
Meanwhile, Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn claims he will be happy to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang flop at Chelsea.
The Gabonese international has failed to find the net in his first two appearances for Chelsea.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is already proven in the Premier League with Arsenal with 68 goals in 128 Premier League appearances.
Speaking on Free Super Tips, the Arsenal Icon said: “It didn’t surprise me if I’m honest.
“Listen, there were issues at Arsenal. They let him go and all of a sudden, he’s moved back to the Premier League.
“Whether he was surplus to requirements, or he didn’t think he would get enough game time at Barcelona, who knows?
“They might have needed to free up space for other players, so here he is at Chelsea back in the Premier League.
“He came back to a manager he’s played under before, so it made sense, but unfortunately that manager has now gone. It’s just a case of a clean slate and going again.
“He had a good period at Arsenal, but it went sour towards the end, but he’s got to try and rebuild himself at Chelsea who has had an interesting start to the season.
“It’ll be a case of an Aubameyang. Get himself back to the striker he was at Arsenal, where he was getting 20 Premier League goals a season.
“That’s what he will want and what Chelsea will want, obviously from my point of view. I hope that doesn’t happen because it means they’ll be moving up the league.
‘He’s got a new manager to impress. He’s got this injury to shake off fully, which could play on the back of his mind.
“We all know what he’s capable of on the pitch, but as we know, you may have to juggle the other side of it to make sure he fits into all of the managers’ plans.”
