Chelsea trying hard to sign Greek attacker
Chelsea are stepping up their efforts to land highly-rated Greek striker Stefanos Tzimas, as they aim to bolster their attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window. According to reports from BILD, the Blues are considered strong contenders to secure the 19-year-old talent, currently on loan at FC Nuremberg from PAOK Thessaloniki.
Nuremberg are reportedly plotting a clever business move by exercising an €18m option to sign Tzimas permanently, with plans to sell him for a profit soon after. The Bundesliga 2 side have slapped a €25m asking price on the youngster, which is unlikely to be an obstacle for Chelsea’s financial muscle.
The Greek forward has been turning heads across Europe, with as many as 18 clubs said to be monitoring his progress. However, Chelsea are reportedly “trying particularly hard” to bring him to Stamford Bridge, with the German publication giving the Blues a 45% chance of securing his signature.
Tzimas’ impressive performances on loan have sparked significant interest, and Chelsea’s pursuit of the striker aligns with their long-term vision of building a squad brimming with young and exciting talents. Despite being in a transitional period under their current project, the club remains determined to offload surplus players in the summer to make room for new arrivals like Tzimas.
The teenager’s potential signing could address Chelsea’s attacking woes, as the Blues continue to seek a clinical finisher to complement their creative midfield talents. With competition fierce, the coming months will be crucial in determining whether Chelsea can seal the deal and win the race for one of Europe’s most sought-after young forwards.
Stay tuned for more updates as Chelsea fans eagerly await further developments in what could be a key signing for the club’s future.
