As regards transfer news today in this summer transfer window. Chelsea are still exploring the market, looking for ways to balance their frontline this campaign.
Of course, Christopher Nkunku will now be unavailable for several months. And they missed out on signing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.
As a result, the West London club desires to sign at least one offensive player this summer. And they have many players on their radar.
Since Christopher Nkunku’s injury. Mauricio Pochettino has been playing Carney Chukwuemeka or Ian Maatsen as attacking midfielders.
However, with the arrival of Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia. Enzo Fernández can be moved to play the free role on the pitch, making key passes and creating chances.
Still on transfer news today, Chelsea recently linked with Bradley Barcola of Lyon. They want the French youngster as Michael Olise’s alternative.
Meanwhile, they have now set their gaze on another young striker. Of course, Nicolas Jackson alone cannot help the Blues this season as a central-forward.
Despite the presence of Armando Broja. Mauricio Pochettino desires to have a new No.9 in the squad, so as to switch roles with the Senegalese youngster.
Armando Broja has been linked with many Premier League moves. The likes of AS Roma and others are heavily interested in him in the 2023-2024 season.
Therefore, Chelsea are considering a loan move for the player, as per transfer news today. As a result, they have been linked with a new striker this summer transfer window.
The West London club recently held talks over Folarin Balogun of Arsenal. It’s believed that the Gunners value him at £50 million.
Despite the rivalry between the two London clubs. They have a good relationship when it comes to selling and buying players from each other.
Of course, the Blues have recently sold Kai Havertz and Jorginho to the Gunners. Therefore, they have no problem signing the American from the Emirates.
There are many clubs heavily interested in the 22-year-old American striker. The likes of Fulham, Monaco, and Inter Milan want his signature.
As a result, the West London club may face a little competition. If they want to sign the Gunners youngster as Nicolas Jackson’s backup this season.
Folarin Balogun doesn’t want to play as Gabriel Jesus backup at Arsenal. As a result, he desires to leave the North London club this summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, at Chelsea, he can easily play as a double striker with the Senegalese. And his versatility would make him irreplaceable under Pochettino.
