Chelsea are reportedly interested in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani as a possible transfer target.
According to ESPN, Chelsea and Manchester United are among the clubs keen on signing the 24-year-old striker.
It is understood that the France international would like to finish the current season in the Bundesliga with Frankfurt before considering his future in the summer.
The report explains the German club may allow the centre-forward to be sold in the summer, but they could demand as much €90million (£80million) to grant his exit.
Chelsea interested in Randal Kolo Muani
Kolo Muani is midway through an excellent club season with Frankfurt.
The quick attacker has eight goals and 11 assists in just 23 games across all competitions, which included a couple of strikes during the Champions League group stages.
His reputation managed to grow further during the World Cup tournament in Qatar, despite starting just one game for runners-up France.
Kolo Muani came off the bench for the French in both the semi-finals and final, grabbing a goal in one and an assist in the other. Meanwhile, former Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud was substituted off in both and was showed up by his younger counterpart.
It’s obvious Chelsea need to find a prolific No.9 at Stamford Bridge, something that fans have been ranting about for several years now.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has claimed Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is a potential target the Blues are trying to sign.
However, Kolo Muani is a really interest name to throw into the mix during widespread transfer speculation.
