Chelsea closely monitoring unknown seven goal striker with two Premier League clubs also interested | OneFootball

Chelsea are interested in PAOK Saloniki’s Stefanos Tzimas and are closely monitoring the striker according to reports.

The Blues have made a brilliant start to the season and currently sit second just four points behind leaders Liverpool after beating Brentford on Sunday night.

Enzo Maresca’s men have lost just twice in 16 games so far this campaign and have found themselves in the title conversation.

With the January transfer window fast approaching transfer stories are beginning to heat up and the Blues are starting to be linked with players.

It’s more likely that outgoings will be the priority with there a strong chance the likes of Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell and Cesare Casadaei will leave the club either permanently or on loan.

If the Blues are to bring players in then it’s expected they will be looking at centre back and striker to bolster their ranks.

Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger has reported the Blues are closely monitoring the situation of PAOK Saloniki striker Tzimas very closely.

He took to X.com and said:

“Chelsea FC is interested in PAOK Saloniki‘s top talent Stefanos Tzimas (18). The Premier League club is monitoring the situation of the greek striker very closely. #CFC Tzimas is playing on loan for FC Nürnberg and is one of the most interesting young players in Germany’s 2.

“Bundesliga (7 goals and 2 assists in 13 app.). Nürnberg want to trigger the €18m buy option. Tzimas is on the shortlist of Aston Villa and Newcastle too.”

Nicolas Jackson has made a good start to the season and has nine goals and three assists in 15 games, but it’t no secret the Blues are looking to add another striker to their ranks.

The club have been linked with a move for Ipswich striker Liam Delap in recent weeks and it seems unlikely they will sign a big name striker like a Victor Osimhen or Viktor Gyokeres.

It’s likely the Blues will be linked with players not many of us may have heard of in the coming weeks, but the scouts have shown their talent identification to be good, but whether a move for Tzimas materialises we will have to wait and see.
