Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea are reportedly ready to pay around £100million for the transfer of a new number 9 striker who has been prolific for Tottenham as their best striker Harry Kane.
The
Blues are up against some big names for Kane’s signature but are currently
leading the likes of Manchester City in the race for the England international,
according to Don Balon.
Chelsea
certainly have issues upfront this season, despite their superb recent
form under new manager Thomas Tuchel, and Kane could be an ideal upgrade on
unconvincing forwards like Timo Werner, Tammy Abraham and Kai Havertz.
Kane has been
one of the best strikers in the world for a number of years now, with the
27-year-old showing himself to be extremely clinical in front of goal, while
he’s also added more assists to his game this term.
Chelsea have shown plenty of promise under
Tuchel but still lack a player who can get them 25-30 goals a season, so £100m
on Kane could be money well spent.
Harry Kane is a top
transfer target for Chelsea
This
could be a blow for City, however, who also look in need of signing the Spurs
star as a long-term replacement for the departing Sergio Aguero.
