Chelsea are all set to move for Shakhtar Donetsk playmaker Alex Teixera in the January transfer window. And adding fuel to the reports is the keenness of Teixera to push through the deal.
The Brazilian indicated that he already has an offer on the table from the Blues and would be eager to push for it in the winter transfer window.
I have an offer. It was a pleasure to know that Chelsea wants to sign me. It would be great if the transfer already happens in January
Not many know that the Brazilian is a prolific goal scorer. This season, he already has 16 goals in his first 11 games in the Ukrainian Premier League. To put it into context, this is more than what Robert Lewandowski has achieved with Bayern Munich.
Jose Mourinho’s interest in the playmaker is widely reported and his free-scoring ways will improve his floundering side. With the backup for Diego Costa not able to assert itself, Teixera can add variety and skill to Chelsea.
Will he be a good addition to the Blues? Critics may point out that the Ukrainian League is not at the same level as EPL but you cannot discount his goals for nothing. Who knows – he could be a surprise addition like the previously unknown Kenedy. Watch this space!
