Chelsea in strongest position to sign experienced striker as a free agent this summer | OneFootball

According to a report today, Chelsea are in the strongest position to sign striker Dusan Vlahovic as a free agent this summer.

Vlahovic is increasingly drawn to a move to the Premier League as his Juventus chapter nears its end, with Tottenham and Chelsea showing interest, and a report from TEAMtalk this morning suggests that the Blues are in the strongest position to land him at this stage.

Tottenham are in a spot of bother right now having just sacked another manager and are genuinely in a relegation battling position. So I’m not sure why any player would even look at joining them right now. So if it’s only between those two as the main candidates, you are probably choosing Chelsea all day long, right?

Vlahovic’s contract at Juventus ends at the end of this season and so far, there are no indications that he is going to renew there.

Tottenham are monitoring his situation alongside Chelsea, per the report.

They claim that Chelsea are considering a move for a new striker this summer amid uncertainty surrounding Liam Delap.

The write up concludes, ‘with Chelsea in with a chance of Champions League qualification and side showing interest in Vlahovic, they appear to be his most likely destination at this stage – but things could still change.’

After the Leeds draw last night, Liam Rosenior spoke about Joao Pedro, and was able to be a lot more positive about the striker, who he said was a “top player” and perfect for his style of play. The Brazilian certainly has been superb in the last month, and seems to love playing under the new manager.

Before this press conference, Rosenior had spoken to TNT Sport in a pretty similar fashion. There he lamented the lack of concentration in a short period which led to Leeds coming from what looked a pretty hopeless 2-0 to make it 2-2. It’s the first time we’ve really heard him get angry, such has been the success of the start of his Chelsea reign.
