Chelsea are reportedly looking to improve their attacking unit by signing 20-year-old Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz.
According to a report by Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea have made an offer to sign Kenan Yildiz, but they have failed in their approach. Juventus have turned down the offer from Chelsea, and it will be interesting to see if the Blues decide to return with an improved bid for him.
The Turkish international registered 21 goal contributions for Juventus last season, and he was quite impressive for the Serie A outfit. There is no doubt that he would be a quality acquisition for Chelsea as well. However, widespread reports have long suggested that the Bianconeri want to keep him at the Allianz Stadium beyond the summer transfer window.
Chelsea have been quite active in the transfer market, and they have already signed attackers such as Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. It appears the Blues are not finished in the market, and they are looking to improve their attacking unit further.
The Turkish international would be a solid long-term acquisition for them, as he is regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in football right now. He could prove to be an exceptional long-term investment. Chelsea reportedly offered around €65-68 million for the player, which is a substantial amount of money, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to return with a better offer.
Chelsea need quality players to match up to elite clubs
Chelsea will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they need to improve their squad. The Blues are hoping to challenge for major trophies, having won the UEFA Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup recently. They will look to build on that and push for the Premier League title now. However, the West London outfit require top-quality players to match up to the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
Yildiz will certainly help Chelsea improve going forward. The 20-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in England, and he could develop into a key player for the club. He will help create opportunities in the final third and find the back of the net as well. He is versatile enough to operate in multiple attacking roles.
