Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Juventus striker Dušan Vlahovic.
According to a GiveMeSport report, the 22-year-old Serbian international is on Chelsea’s radar following the injury to Armando Broja. The talented young Chelsea striker has been ruled out for the rest of the season after picking up a ligament injury.
It seems Chelsea are looking to bring in attacking reinforcements next month, and they have already made inquiries about Vlahovi.
Ben Jacobs told MSG: It’s actually Chelsea, from a Premier League point of view, who are doing the consulting right now, and we know they need a striker too.
“But I think everyone who is chasing Vlahovic needs to understand if January is possible first and foremost, and then if it isn’t, what should they do to persuade him to move to the Premier League in January? And what can clubs learn from Arsenal’s situation?
“And also, what is your injury situation? Because right now, if you get him in January, he has a groin problem that’s still under investigation. But Chelsea are looking a little more seriously at him and obviously at other strikers because of the Armando Broja situation.”
The former Fiorentina striker joined Juventus earlier in the year for a fee of around £62.8m but has been unable to return to his best form with the Italian giants.
The player has been linked with a move away from Turin in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if Juventus are willing to take advantage of the player in January.
The Italian outfit will be looking to recoup most of what they paid for the Serbian international if Chelsea call in January, and it will be interesting to see if the Blues are willing to pay a substantial fee for Vlahovi.

The 22-year-old was considered one of the most promising young forwards in Europe before joining Juventus, and he has the potential to become a top player for Chelsea.
Vlahovic has the physical and technical attributes to succeed in English football, and Graham Potter could help him reach his potential at Stamford Bridge.
Despite not being at his best this season, the Serb managed to score nine goals in all competitions and could certainly be an upgrade on the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the second half of the season.
