Reports from Italy have claimed that Dusan Vlahovic’s agent has refused to rule out a move to Chelsea next month.

According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the 22-year-old’s agent has indicated that it is not impossible that his client makes the move in January.

The Blues will surely be entering the market next month for a striker, after a combination of issues in front of goal as well as injury woes have struck the position.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored just three times since joining the club, with only one of those strikes coming in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Kai Havertz has continued to look out of his depth in the number nine role. He still looks far better playing in behind the striker.

Then, in his first season as part of the Chelsea first team, Armando Broja has now been told his campaign is over due to injury.

Chelsea not ruled out for Vlahovic

He was stretchered off the pitch in the friendly against Aston Villa, and ligament damage confirmed his worst fears.

Because of these reasons, reports have claimed that the Blues are interested in signing the Juventus striker as a reinforcement that is desperately needed at Stamford Bridge.

Now, Il Corriere Dello Sport have claimed that the player’s agent is refusing to rule out the possibility of a move to the Premier League in just a few weeks’ time.

Vlahovic was on display in the recent World Cup in Qatar, where he found the net for Serbia.

He has featured in ten Serie A games this season, scoring six while assisting one more.

This comes despite Juventus having an extremely poor season so far. They were dumped out of the Champions League after registering just one win out of six group games.

The Blues are expected to strengthen up front at the end of the season with the signing of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.
