Chelsea are reportedly looking at striker Fisnik Asllani from Hoffenheim, who has 13 goal involvements in 23 appearances this season.

The Bundesliga forward is apparently turning into a sought after potential target for a number of clubs, with Chelsea being named as one of them.

The Blues still have some question marks in their own attack, as Liam Delap has hardly come onto the scene and banged yet. Joao Pedro has been on fire lately, but the striker position is one position that the club might need to revise again and take a look at in the very near future.

New names are being linked with them, and Asllani from Bundesliga is the latest.

Chelsea keen on 23-year-old

TEAMtalk reports that Chelsea are particularly keen, with their sources confirming they have compiled a “priority file” on the forward, viewing him as a “complete striker” and a potential bargain.

His age and profile also match the clubs recruitment policy.

Other clubs are also named as interested parties, with Tottenham, Aston Villa, and even Spanish giants Barcelona being mentioned in the report.

The attacker signed a contract extension until 2029 with his current club, yet it includes an attractive release clause valued at around €35million (£30.4m / $40.5m) – or slightly less, between €25-29 million, depending on the buyer and league.

Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho’s efforts in the 4-1 win away at Aston Villa on Wednesday evening in the Premier League earned a lot of praise from Liam Rosenior, and may have earned him a start this Saturday too as they prepare to take on Wrexham in the 5th round of the FA Cup.

Blues striker Joao Pedro also spoke after that same game earlier this week in pretty emotional terms about how happy we was to be at Chelsea.
