In search of an additional attacker, Chelsea recruiters would have ticked the name of a player only 19 years old and playing in the Premier League. The matter, however, risks proving very costly for the Blues who could ultimately give up.
Tenth in the Premier League at halfway, Chelsea are once again struggling. Neither the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino on the Stamford Bridge bench, nor the hundreds of millions of pounds spent on the transfer market in recent years have yet reversed this bad spiral. So will it still be necessary to invest massively for the London club to regain its former grandeur?
The answer is certainly more complex, but Chelsea recruiters still have ideas in mind to get the ship afloat. On the attacking front, the CFC would for example consider making a very big move by offering the services of Evan Ferguson. The Brighton nugget is considered one of the great hopes of the Premier League.
