Chelsea are amongst the Premier League clubs interested in Marseille teenager Robinio Vaz according to reports.
The Blues heavily invested in the squad over the summer, and made five new attacking signings as they totally revamped the frontline.
With the January window fast approaching, the Blues have been linked with a number of players, but they are expected to have a quiet window.
Chelsea interested in Marseille youngster Robinio Vaz
The Blues reportedly don’t want to strengthen the squad in January, and believe it’s strong enough to achieve their aim of finishing in the top four.
It’s unlikely any first team players will arrive next month, but the Blues are always on the lookout for stars of the future.
Chelsea have been linked with Marseille youngster Darryl Bakola, and now Foot Mercato have reported the Blues are amongst the teams interested in his team-mate Vaz.
The report adds Arsenal are also interested in the 18-year-old striker, and the youngster could leave in January if the Ligue 1 outfit receive a satisfactory offer, whilst there’s also said to be interest from Germany.
Vaz has scored four goals and registered two assists in 19 appearances in all competitions this season, and has been an important asset for Marseille.
Midfield main priority next summer
Whether Chelsea do anything in January remains to be seen, but they are already planning for next summer’s window.
Chelsea’s priority is reportedly another midfielder to try and ease the burden on Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
The likes of Kees Smit and Kobbie Mainoo have been linked with the club, but Chelsea need more proven quality if they are to really take a step forward.
The Blues already have Emmanuel Emegha and Geovany Quenda arriving next summer, but need more than that if they are to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title next season.
Absolute Rubbish from the hierarchy of CFC. You are not doing well in front of goal and your Defence is still struggling yet you are talking midfield is priority.
Nonsensical!!! It appears all that the owners are interested in is their ability to buy players cheap when they are young and on sell them expensive. We as fans are supporting the club because of the success we hope they can bring us in terms of trophies. How can Li’pool have dropped so much points in the same season an still bounce back to be ahead of Chelsea? Man U started the season very poor and yet has turned it around to be of touching distance of Chelsea. Does it make sense?
