Chelsea have entered the race to sign Argentine defender Nahuel Molina after an impressive World Cup.
Molina has played a pivotal role in helping Argentina reach the World Cup semi-final. The Atlético de Madrid defender scored the first goal against the Netherlands after a sensational through ball from Lionel Messi.
Molina’s ability to get ahead and hurt teams in forward areas makes him a modern, exciting attacking winger, perfectly suited to a five-man defensive system.

Now, according to Marca, Chelsea have entered the race to sign Molina. Atlético Madrid will not want to lose their right-back, but their financial situation means they may have to part with players during the January transfer window.
With Reece James currently injured and Graham Potter forced to use Raheem Sterling and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in a full-back role, it’s no surprise to see Chelsea targeting a player of Molina’s profile.
It could be a priority position for Chelsea, with James needing cover and competition in this area, especially with him currently injured as we head towards the return of the Premier League.
