Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says he is not aware of Chelsea making any kind of contact to sign Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy.
Serhou Guirassy has been in brilliant form this season, scoring 13 goals in just seven Bundesliga appearances, and the sporting director of his former club John Williams told Le Parisien in 2020 that he rejected a move from Amiens to Stamford Bridge the same year.
But Romano stated in his recent Substack column that he has not heard anything about Chelsea going back in for the 27-year-old and that he is “100%” focused on Stuttgart.
In contrast to Guirassy, Chelsea’s current first-choice No.9 Nicolas Jackson has not been prolific in the current campaign.
He has been able to score just two goals in seven Premier League outings.
Chelsea have other striker targets
While Chelsea may not be interested in Guirassy, they still look set to sign a new centre-forward next year.
According to TEAMtalk, the Blues are already trying to find out what it will take to get Ivan Toney out of Brentford in January.
Elsewhere, another report from ESPN claims that Chelsea have added Napoli’s Victor Osimhen to their shortlist.
As it stands, it looks like one of those two will be the club’s next forward signing, rather than Guirassy.
But if the Guinea international can maintain the form that he has showed in the Bundesliga until January, then it would not be a surprise to see him get a move to another Premier League club when the transfer market is open again.
