With a challenging competition for Ivan Toney from Arsenal, Chelsea has opted to redirect its attention towards securing the services of Dusan Vlahovic as a strategic move to fortify their attacking prowess.
The current offensive lineup at Chelsea is facing certain constraints. While Cole Palmer has been leading Mauricio Pochettino’s squad in Premier League performances, he doesn’t quite fit the bill as a conventional striker. Additionally, Palmer’s goal-scoring record is somewhat skewed, with 50% of his ten goals coming from penalty kicks.
In light of these challenges, owner Todd Boehly is contemplating a new strategy. Chelsea is looking to offload players like Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, and Armando Broja, intending to channel the generated funds into the acquisition of Vlahovic, along with another high-priority target.
Vlahovic, who has been showcasing commendable form with Juventus, has particularly caught the eye of Chelsea officials. The 24-year-old Serbian player has been impressing with an average of one goal every 113 minutes in Serie A, making him a compelling prospect for the Blues’ forward line. This potential acquisition could be a pivotal move in Chelsea’s quest to bolster their attacking options and enhance their competitiveness in various competitions.
