Chelsea are reportedly in talks with RB Leipzig to sign Dominik Szoboszlai.
The Blues have negotiated plenty of times with the German club in recent seasons, and there’s speculation the pair are in conversations once again this month.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Chelsea are trying to sign Szoboszlai from Leipzig.
It is understood that there’s been discussions recently between all parties about the 21-year-old, who could be heading to Stamford Bridge next season.
The report says Chelsea are ‘very close’ to agreeing a deal for Leipzig’s attacking midfielder. In fact, they may soon have the deal finalised in the next few days.
Szoboszlai, who’s a versatile attacking midfielder, can be effective in central or wide positions on the pitch.
Described as a “clever creator” by Chris Sutton, Szoboszlai is having an eye-catching season so far in Germany.
The Hungary international has five goals and 13 assists in 32 games across all competitions, which has included some fantastic performances in both the Bundesliga and Champions League.
This proposed deal has come out of absolutely nowhere.
Yes, Szoboszlai is an extremely talented individual who would be an exciting addition to the Premier League.
However, Chelsea surely need to ship out some of their attacking midfielders before they add more to the squad because they’re looking seriously overloaded in that area of the pitch.
For instance, our initial concern turns towards the future of 24-year-old Blues star Mason Mount.
It might not be a coincidence that talkSPORT claimed earlier this week that Mount has a high chance of joining Liverpool this summer.
