Rumours: Chelsea monitoring Villarreal star Chukwueze
Villarreal star Samuel Chukwueze has emerged as a target for Chelsea ahead of the January transfer window
Following the suspension of their transfer ban, Villarreal star Samuel Chukwueze has emerged as a target for Chelsea ahead of the January transfer window.
Marca reports that the Blues are closely monitoring the progress of the Nigeria forward who has contributed three goals and an assist in La Liga this season.
Chukwueze joins Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha in the list of options and his buyout clause of €60 million would not be a challenge for Frank Lampard who reportedly has more than €175 million for the winter.
