“Since I was a kid, It’s a dream” – Chelsea transfer target reacted to Chelsea interest in signing him

Thomas Strakosha, the goalkeeper for Lazio, has spoken out about recent transfer rumours linking him with a move to Chelsea.

The Albanian international has had a successful career in Serie A, but he is due to become a free agent this summer, which will pique interest from a number of clubs.

In the tweet below, Fabrizio Romano mentions Strakosha as a Chelsea transfer target…

Chelsea supporters will be ecstatic to learn that Strakosha has replied to the rumored interest from the west London giants.

On Romano’s Here We Go podcast, the 27-year-old stated it’s been his desire to play in the Premier League, so being linked with such a huge name is an honor.

When asked about the links with CFC, he responded: “I’m really honoured to be linked with a top club like Chelsea, it’s a dream. I’m dreaming of Premier League since I was a kid.”

Chelsea already have Edouard Mendy as their number one, while Kepa Arrizabalaga is a solid backup option, though one imagines Strakosha may be seen as an upgrade in that backup role, and better able to challenge Mendy for his place.
