“Cole palmer new partner confirmed” – Chelsea close to agreeing deal to sign player with 10 goals already this season
Social media football account ‘The Secret Scout’ has dropped a bombshell on Twitter, suggesting that Chelsea is on the verge of securing a deal for the highly promising 18-year-old striker, Milos Lukovic, from Serbian side IMT. Lukovic has been in scintillating form this season, netting an impressive 10 goals in just 19 league games despite his tender age.
Chelsea, renowned for their astute eye for emerging talents, seems set to capitalize on Lukovic’s potential, aiming to secure his services before other elite clubs get the chance. The scouting network extends its reach to promising players globally, and Lukovic’s standout performances have clearly caught Chelsea’s attention.
The Secret Scout’s tweet reveals the intricate negotiations in progress: “Boom! Chelsea trying to complete a deal for 18-year-old striker Milos Lukovic, who will then head straight to Strasbourg. Chelsea’s recruitment team flew to Serbia to meet the owner. The club rejected an initial 4M as they want a % sell-on fee. Lukovic has scored 10 goals in 19 Championship matches.”
The reported rejection of an initial £4 million bid indicates the club’s insistence on including a percentage sell-on fee, highlighting the negotiation intricacies in securing the promising striker. If the deal materializes, Lukovic is slated to make his way to Strasbourg, presumably part of Chelsea’s strategic loan network to facilitate his development.
The revelation adds to the speculation surrounding Chelsea’s striking options, with ongoing reports suggesting the club’s pursuit of a top-level striker in the upcoming transfer windows. Victor Osimhen, a name frequently linked with Chelsea, continues to be touted as the primary target to address the team’s goalscoring concerns. As the transfer saga unfolds, the potential addition of Milos Lukovic hints at Chelsea’s commitment to fortifying their ranks with emerging talents, ensuring a promising future for the club.
