‘A beast’. According to Antonio Rudiger, Chelsea’s sale of an attacking player for £24 million was ridiculous.

According to tbrfootball, Antonio Rudiger has worked with a number of great strikers during his career. Throughout his career, the current Real Madrid star has played with Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, and even Francesco Totti.

The German should know what a good striker looks like by now, and when chatting with Goal’s Front Three on YouTube, he saved particular admiration for a former Chelsea player.

Indeed, Rudiger has spoken highly of Andre Schurrle after many years of playing with him at the international level. The former Chelsea striker was Rudiger’s international teammate for a short time, and the defender described Schurrle as “utterly brilliant.”

Rudiger describes Schurrle as a killer and a beast when it came to scoring goals.

Rudiger talked about his old Germany teammate. “Andre Schurrle, you played with him as well didn’t you, tell me a bit about Schurrle really quickly?” Rudiger was asked. “sure, sure, it is true. Rudiger stated, “That guy was a killer; he was a beast in front of goal.”

Schurrle may be overshadowed in history since he was frequently surrounded by superior players, but we must not forget how good he was at one point. He was a significant player in Germany’s 2014 World Cup victory, and while he struggled to find his position in the Chelsea squad, he did stand up for the Blues when it counted most.

Schurrle’s career plummeted after leaving Chelsea for £24 million. He struggled to rediscover form after that, and a bad loan stint at Fulham appeared to ruin his confidence. Schurrle retried at the age of 29, and while his career may have ended prematurely, he undoubtedly had an impact on the game throughout his playing days.
