Why Are Chelsea Interested?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Chelsea are one of the busiest clubs in the January transfer window. The West London outfit have already signed defender Benoit Badiashile from Monaco, as well as youngsters David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos. Last week, Chelsea signed Joao Felix on a 6-month loan deal, without an option to buy. The West London club have struggled for form and goals, losing six of their past eight, scoring only four times. Wingers Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling are out injured, and the team’s attacking forces have all offered very little as a consistent threat. The introduction of a young, fearless winger like Noni Madueke to the side could prove effective, as the club are desperate for an upturn in form. As reported by\u00a0<\/span>Fabrizio Romano<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on January 13, Chelsea are in “direct contact” with PSV over the player having made an opening proposal of \u00a327 million, and the Dutch side are willing to sell if the price is right.<\/span><\/p>\n
