REPORT: Chelsea Are Keeping Tabs On Real Madrid Winger Vinicius Junior
Vinicius Junior: One Of A Number Of Targets For Chelsea
Since their successful appeal to the Court of Arbritration for Sport to overturn their transfer ban, Frank Lampard has been outlining his targets for the forthcoming window.
One position that they are looking to strengthen is out wide. As a result, they now have several targets in mind, one of which is Vinicius Junior.
The Brazilian is still highly-regarded at the Bernabeu. However, he has fallen under the radar in recent weeks. In Madrid’s most recent fixture against Barcelona, he failed to make it onto the pitch.
Vinicius Junior is not the only winger Chelsea are targeting. Gareth Bicknell of the Daily Mirror writes that the Blues are also keen on Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. However, the Eagles are bowing down from their valuation of £80 million for the Ivorian.
Not The Only Club Tracking The Brazilian
Chelsea are one of a number of clubs tracking the 19-year-old Brazilian. According to El Desmarque, Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal and Wolves are all holding an interest in the Madrid youngster.
Furthermore, there is also interest from other European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
While Chelsea appear the club most likely to sign the 19-year-old due to their desperation for a new winger, they will face strong competition for his signature.
Chelsea Will Be Busy In January
As a result of their transfer ban being rescinded, it looks like it will be a busy January transfer window for Chelsea. They have a number of targets in mind, with a left-back also high on their agenda for the window.
