Two sources now report Chelsea’s interest in world-class veteran player
Chelsea’s apparent interest in signing a world-class veteran player this month has now been reported by two sources.
Chelsea have been linked with a number of potential new faces to join the club in the January transfer window.
We’ve heard a lot about potential new strikers and that seems to be their priority this month if they find the right profile and opportunity.
I don’t think there are many people who would argue that even 36-year-old world-class veteran striker Karim Benzema doesn’t have the right profile, but is he the right choice?
Two sources are now reporting Chelsea’s interest in Benzema, who may want to leave the Saudi Arabian League this window.
Chelsea’s interest was first reported by the reliable Julien Laurens and later supported by Fraser Gillan of TEAMtalk.

Benzema wouldn’t be a bad option for Chelsea right now, especially if it was a short-term fix until another top target was available in the summer.
