‘What are we doing?’ ‘Swap the deal with Alonso’: as Blues fans begs club to sign 50M-rated Belgian star

According to reports in France, Chelsea are one of five teams interested in Atletico Madrid wingback Yannick Carrasco.

The Belgian international, who has a €60m (£50m) release clause, is being targeted by the Blues, Manchester United and Barcelona in view to a summer switch. However, both Newcastle and Tottenham are said to be looking to do a deal before tonight’s deadline.

Most supporters on Twitter believe the London club will be too slow to sign Carrasco this month anyway, while some don’t think he is a good enough player to strengthen their options on the flanks.

Carrasco has been in decent form so far this season, having scored two goals and provided six assists in 29 appearances for Atletico. His ability to play both as a winger and at wingback on either side would also make him a useful addition to the squad

However, at 28 years of age, the Belgian is hardly one for the future, and most respected sources claim that Chelsea would prioritise a much younger option such as Barcelona’s Sergino Dest if they were going to reinforce out wide.
