Report: Chelsea to challenge Arsenal for latest Ligue 1 hot shot, January move a possibility | OneFootball

Chelsea are amongst the Premier League clubs interested in Marseille teenager Robinio Vaz according to reports.

The Blues heavily invested in the squad over the summer, and made five new attacking signings as they totally revamped the frontline.

With the January window fast approaching, the Blues have been linked with a number of players, but they are expected to have a quiet window.

Chelsea have been linked with Marseille youngster Darryl Bakola, and now Foot Mercato have reported the Blues are amongst the teams interested in his team-mate Vaz.

The report adds Arsenal are also interested in the 18-year-old striker, and the youngster could leave in January if the Ligue 1 outfit receive a satisfactory offer, whilst there’s also said to be interest from Germany.

Vaz has scored four goals and registered two assists in 19 appearances in all competitions this season, and has been an important asset for Marseille.

Midfield main priority next summer

Whether Chelsea do anything in January remains to be seen, but they are already planning for next summer’s window.

Chelsea’s priority is reportedly another midfielder to try and ease the burden on Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
