Chelsea and Tottenham set for transfer battle over Argentine prodigy | OneFootball

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Ian Subiabre from River Plate. 

The 19-year-old winger has done quite well for the Argentine outfit, and he has attracted the attention of multiple clubs recently. According to a report from Soy del Millo, the two Premier League clubs are monitoring his progress, and they could look to make a move in the summer.

Another report from Soy del Millo confirms that the player’s agent is looking to secure a move for his client in the summer, and River Plate is expecting substantial offers soon. They could look to sanction his departure for a fee of around €8-13 million.

Chelsea and Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to afford him, and he could prove to be an excellent long-term acquisition. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and the opportunity to play in the Premier League will be hard to turn down for him. Regular exposure to English football could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential.

The 19-year-old could add creativity, pace, unpredictability, and goals to the Chelsea attack. Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens have been underwhelming this season, and Chelsea needs more quality on the flanks.

On the other hand, Tottenham will need to add more depth going forward as well. They have looked quite underwhelming so far this season.

The 19-year-old would be a superb long-term investment for both clubs. The asking price is quite reasonable, and the deal could look like a bargain in future. He has the technical attributes to develop into a quality Premier League attack with the right guidance.

Chelsea and Tottenham could provide him with the platform he needs to showcase his qualities at the highest level.
