Despite making more than its fair share of transfer mistakes in recent years, Chelsea has developed one of the best squads in the Premier League.
However, when it comes to identifying the best and most important player on Enzo Maresca’s team, there is only one answer: Cole Palmer.
The Englishman joined the club in the summer of 2023 and, although dealing with injuries recently, has compiled a stunning score of 45 goals and 29 assists in 101 games.
So Chelsea fans should be ecstatic about reports linking them with another international superstar who may be a Palmer-type signing.
Chelsea seeks a Palmer-type signing.
Palmer has only played four games for Chelsea this season, scoring two goals, and while the team has done well without him, it’s evident that they miss his game-changing potential.
For example, the often unplayable Englishman could have found a winner against Qarabağ or grabbed another goal to guarantee Sunderland never got their winner a few of weeks ago.
It appears that the board believes the team is lacking an innovative cutting edge at the moment and has turned their focus to one of Europe’s most intriguing attackers.
At least, that is according to a recent Spanish report, which suggests Chelsea is interested in Julian Alvarez.
In fact, the story goes further, revealing that the Blues have entered the bidding battle for his talents, battling with Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona to bring him to London.
However, getting the deal done will not be cheap, with the source stating that the Blues will make a club record €150 million offer to get the Argentine, which is approximately £133 million.
