Juventus attacker Dusan Vlahovic could reportedly be someone that Chelsea target in the summer.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the 23-year-old striker is “one to watch” when looking ahead to potential Chelsea targets in the near future.
Jacobs has suggested to GiveMeSport that Vlahovic may be on the Blues radar ahead of next season: “In terms of incomings, I think that they still may want more of a traditional old-fashioned striker. Dusan Vlahovic is one to watch.”
Vlahovic, who’s had injury problems in recent months, has still managed to score nine goals in 18 Juventus appearances this season.
He’s a conventional No.9 that has done well in Juventus colours after previously making a name for himself at Fiorentina.
The ‘extraordinary’ Serie A frontman has turned out to be a really shrewd £67million signing for Juventus.
On paper, he looks like exactly the kind of striker that would do well in the Premier League given his size, physicality and deadly finishing in the penalty box.
In our view, he fits the right kind of profile that Chelsea should be looking for to improve their centre-forward position.
Despite serious investment from the Chelsea ownership in the past two windows, many supporters still feel the club need to go big on signing a new main striker in the summer.
Romelu Lukaku’s return to Stamford Bridge failed last season, which is why he was shipped out on loan to Inter Milan.
However, you’ve got to question if the Blues can really compete for silverware across the board without a clinical attacker leading the line.
It feels like there needs to be a focal point to knit together with all the creative stars that have been assembled at the club.
