Jimmy Linked With Betis

Last updated : 08 August 2003 By Rich Godden
Jimmy is held in high regard in Spain after scoring 24 times in 34 games during his one year stay at Atletico Madrid.

He was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona last summer, but that move failed to come of anything. Jimmy went on to have, certainly by his standards, a poor season.

Yet that hasn't deterred Betis coach Victor Fernandez. He said "We need a goalscorer. Jimmy knows the language and the Spanish league. I'm sure he will come to Seville if we can arrange the financial terms of the deal."

I know he had a poor season, but I think that Jimmy Floyd still has plenty to offer Chelsea. I for one would like to see him given at least a chance this season...
