Chelsea should be active during this January transfer window, in particular by trying to snatch from their club a revelation in the Spanish championship.
Adopting a checkered form this season, the English club, led by Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino, is only 10th in the Premier League, despite the impressive investments made over several transfer windows, including that of summer 2023. For January 2024, the Blues hope to primarily recruit in three positions: in attack, in central defense and in midfield.
In front, Ivan Toney (Brentford) is followed with insistence, just as much as Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen), Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord), Evan Ferguson (Brighton) and even Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig). But a new name has appeared.
An attacker recruited in Spain?
According to revelations from the Sun , Chelsea are now looking into the situation of Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk. The international with 23 caps (7 goals) brilliantly leads the Girona attack in La Liga. The Spanish club, 2nd surprise in the ranking, can count on its striker, recruited last August for only 7.75 million euros. The latter has indeed scored 11 goals – delivering 5 assists – in 17 La Liga matches, while contributing 24 goals and 15 assists in 40 matches in all competitions.
Remarkable statistics for the 26-year-old, who attract the London team. The latter would be ready to pay 45 million euros to secure the services of the former FC Midtjylland and SK Dnipro-1 striker. That said, it will not be easy to convince Girona to offload their star striker, while number 9 is under contract
