Chelsea Transfer News: Top Target Expected To Leave Benfica
Chelsea have been making waves in the transfer market recently and their top target is expected to be leaving Benfica.
Chelsea To Make Moves For Benfica Forward
The Blues have been strongly linked with a move for Benfica forward, João Félix, who has been making a huge impact with the Lisbon club. The 19-year-old has made 13 appearances this season in all competitions, scoring five goals and providing four assists.
Chelsea are expected to make an official offer for the Portuguese star in the coming weeks and with his current contract expiring in 2021, Benfica may be forced to accept a transfer.
Felix Would Represent An Upgrade To Chelsea’s Attack
Felix’s impressive performances in the first team have seen the youngster being compared to some of the world’s best players. His pace, skill, and eye for goal would represent an upgrade to Chelsea’s attack and would give them another much-needed goal-scorer.
Chelsea need more options in the offensive third and Felix’s arrival would provide them with another dynamic option.
Chelsea Set To Clinch Transfer Of Their Top Target
It looks increasingly likely that Chelsea will be able to strike a deal for their top transfer target and if they do, Felix could become the highest priced transfer in the club’s history.
This would be a huge statement of intent from the Blues and prove that they are serious about competing for titles this season.
Conclusion
Chelsea seem to be pulling out all the stops in order to acquire one of the hottest prospects in world football and it looks like this could be the summer that they make a splash in the transfer market.
If Felix does end up joining the London club, it could signal the arrival of a new era for the Blues and would provide them with another dynamic weapon in the attack.
