Chelsea are on the lookout for a potential new striker to sign this month after the injury to Armando Broja.
The youngster is going to be out at least the rest of the season after picking up an ACL injury against Aston Villa in a friendly match recently.
Chelsea have been looking at whether to bring in a new replacement for Broja this month, and it’s looking highly likely that they will be trying to do so.
The only issue is that there are not too many true number 9’s on the market right now who could come in and really help Chelsea. But one name who might be able to do just that is Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, who may well be available for transfer very soon.
Journalist Ben Jacobs confirms that Chelsea are making inquiries to potentially sign Vlahovic, in his latest interview with Give Me Sport.
Jacobs said: “It’s actually Chelsea, from a Premier League point of view, making the inquiries at this point, and we know that they need a striker as well.
“But I think everybody chasing Vlahovic needs to understand, is January possible, first and foremost, and then if it isn’t, what do they need to do to persuade him to move to the Premier League in January? And what can clubs learn from the Arsenal situation?
“And also, what is his injury situation? Because right now, if you get him in January, he’s got a groin problem that is still under investigation. But Chelsea are looking a bit more seriously at him and obviously a number of other strikers because of the Armando Broja situation.”
