The Telegraph share update on future of forgotten €6m Chelsea star | OneFootball

Chelsea striker Marc Guiu is expected to go on loan next season given the competition for places in attack according to reports.

Guiu joined Chelsea last summer for just €6m after the Blues activated the cheap release clause in his Barcelona contract.

The 19-year-old made just three Premier League appearances last season, although he fared better in the Conference League with six goals in seven appearances, including a hat-trick against Shamrock Rovers.

Guiu missed the majority of the second half of the season through injury, but came on as a substitute in the Conference League final and is currently part of the squad at the Club World Cup.

The teenager has made two substitute appearances in America, but following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro he’s been pushed further down the pecking order.

It’s clear Guiu isn’t going to get the regular minutes he needs to develop as a player at Chelsea, and The Telegraph have reported he’s expected to go out on loan.

Guiu is reportedly attracting interest from Ipswich, whilst sister club Strasbourg is always an option, although Chelsea only have one remaining spot there given Kendry Paez and Mathis Amougou are going to the Ligue 1 outfit.

The Blues may wish to save that spot for talented goalkeeper Mike Penders, but Guiu won’t be short of suitors this summer.

Chelsea looking to sign another attacker

Despite three attacking signings already, Chelsea are thought to be looking to bring another attacker in, with Mohammed Kudus a name of interest.

It’s been reported the Blues want as many as nine attacking options in the squad next season, but to make room for another signing one of the current crop would likely have to leave.

Chelsea are keeping an eye on the situation surrounding Kudus, with Spurs also interested, whilst Lyon winger Malick Fofana is a player the club like, and it will be interesting to see what the Blues decide to do.
