REPORTS: Chelsea to pay £27m in other to sign Mexico forward this summer

Chelsea seems to be having a pretty good transfer activity over the past few weeks now, as the Blues are now gradually signing all their summer transfer targets.

Having failed to register any January signings following FIFA lifting their transfer ban, the Blues manage to complete a deal for Ajax player Hakim Ziyech in February. They have also completed Timo Werner signing from RB Leipzig earlier this week.

It’s believed that more big signings are expected to be done, with Kai Havertz and Ben Chilwell among those rumored to be on Frank Lampard wish-list.

However, new reports has emerged claiming that Chelsea are considering a move for FC Porto star Jesus Corona who has a £27million release clause on his contract.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are to pay £27million if they wish to sign the Porto attacker this summer, with the club willing to cash him out if his buy-out clause is paid.

The Mexico forward has been impressive for Porto this season, netting multiple times and providing 17 assists in 44 games across all competitions. Reports claim that Frank Lampard is keen on landing the attacker this summer to add up with Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech.
