Chelsea planning shock move for €40m-rated Serbia international after receiving transfer boost

Blues and Spurs are reportedly set to receive a transfer boost as Real Madrid are set to axe Luka Jovic this summer.

Serbia international has struggled so far this campaign as he has failed to replicate the form he displayed at Eintracht Frankfurt. That, in turn, has led to only two goals and two assists in 24 games for Los Blancos.

That said, Luka has been limited to a bit-part role under Zizou this year, and so perhaps that lack of regular football and absence of an essential role has had a negative impact on his game.

With that in mind, there was perhaps enough to suggest that Jovic could be moved on this summer, but now it’s reported that club are set to offer him to other teams.

Los Blancos are ready to offer Luka to both Chelsea and Spurs, who are said to have both been interested already after Luka courted criticism for flying home to Serbia during the coronavirus pandemic while he was meant to be self-isolating.

Despite his struggles this campaign, the 22-year-old centre-forward has shown enough previously to suggest that in the correct environment he’s capable of being a clinical player for a top club if he has the creativity nearly him and trust of the coach.

With Blues lacking quality and depth behind Tammy Abraham upfront as Olivier Giroud’s current deal is also ready to expire this summer, while Spurs face the same problem with not enough firepower alongside Harry Kane, the Serbian striker would arguably be an essential solution for either club if they were able to land him this summer.
