Chelsea Are Close To Recruiting This Serie A Winger: Should The Blues Get Him On Board? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes claimed that Chelsea are close to recruiting Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe. It has been mentioned that the Blues are eyeing a move to bring the English wide player to Stamford Bridge this summer.

Rowe’s Impressive Form In Serie A

Rowe has enjoyed a decent run of form at the Italian club as he has put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 23-year-old has found the back of the net eight times and earned four assists in 42 matches for Bologna this season across multiple competitions.

The English talent is currently among the most feared wingers in Serie A. Therefore, Chelsea would do well to lure him to England in this summer transfer period.

His current contract at the Italian club will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for the Blues to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Should Chelsea Get Rowe On Board?

Rowe is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive end of the field. He can shoot the ball with power from long range and can chip in by scoring and creating a handful of important goals for his team.

The English sensation is primarily a left-winger but can also function as a right-sided wide player or as an attacking midfielder if told to do so by his manager. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical style and high intensity of the Premier League if the Blues manage to snap him up this summer.

We can expect Rowe to bring more quality and depth to Chelsea‘s frontline. He is good enough to challenge for a regular first-team spot at Stamford Bridge next season.

At 23, Rowe has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Blues to consider in the long run. He will also help the West London club compete across all fronts in the coming years. All in all, Rowe would be wise to go all out to get him on board at the end of this campaign.
