Premier League clubs Nottingham Forest and Fulham are both pushing to sign Chelsea’s Malang Sarr.
That is according to French publication Foot Mercato.
They claim that Forest and Fulham are currently in the race to sign Malang Sarr.
It is understood that Chelsea will allow the 24-year-old defender to go on a free transfer despite the fact that he still has two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
The report adds that the French centre-back is ‘hungry’ to join a new club where he can play regularly.
Apparently, he’ll be gone by Friday when the transfer window shuts at 11pm.
TV Play recently claimed this week that Italian side Roma would like to sign Sarr.
It sounds like there’s an ongoing battle for the Chelsea defender’s future, which is great news for getting him off the books in west London.
Unfortunately, the left-footer’s made just 21 first-team appearances for the Blues since joining from Nice a few years ago. He didn’t really look that settled or comfortable in the environment, too.
We would be very interested to see if he’s at the level to force his way into the starting line-ups of either Forest or Fulham this campaign. Our suggestion for him would be a move abroad to a different league.
Chelsea are in a really strong position when it comes to the heart of defence, so it’s a no-brainer for Sarr to move on.
The Blues currently own the likes of Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, Wesley Fofana and Thiago Silva as top quality centre-backs.
