Journalist Ben Jacobs has claimed on ‘NUFC matters’ that there’s a big chance that Dusan Vlahovic makes a move to the Premier League this summer.
The striker is reportedly unhappy at his current club, Juventus, and that mindset wont have been helped by the Serie A side’s recent points deduction.
He has been linked with a move to Chelsea a lot this season, with a price tag of around £67m being discussed.
A striker is certainly on the agenda for the Blues, with a regular goalscorer one of the glaring omissions from their team at this stage.
Jacobs has claimed that Vlahovic is likely to be on the move this summer, although Chelsea will be facing competition from fellow English clubs for the deal.
Vlahovic likely to move
He said: “With Dusan Vlahovic, there is a very realistic possibility of a move to the Premier League. Chelsea and Manchester United are the two primary clubs who are looking at him, Newcastle have sent scouts as well in the past.
“Vlahovic isn’t happy at Juventus and with their point deduction there’s no guarantee he’ll have Champions League football next season.
“The thing Newcastle need to understand if they’re going to enter that race is if he has any chronic injury problems, the last thing Newcastle want is to sign a player of that quality and find that there’s a hovering injury issue in the background.”
Despite Kai Havertz being back amongst the goals in recent weeks, he has never established himself as an option who can regularly find the net.
The Blues will also have to deal with the upcoming signing of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig, although he has already claimed that he is more comfortable working off another striker.
