Chelsea are said to be considering a move for talented Hungarian attacking midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, who was previously a transfer target for Arsenal. The Blues technical director Christopher Vivell is a big fan of the RB Leipzig star, as Ben Jacobs reports.
Vivell was largely responsible for bringing the Hungarian international to Leipzig after the pair had previously worked together at RB Salzburg, and that link could place Chelsea at the front of a long queue to claim the 22-year-old’s signature. Despite Vivell’s apparent admiration for Szoboszlai, it may not prove the ideal fit for Graham Potter’s side, who have only recently enhanced their options in this area following the expensive captures of Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni Madueke.
The priority for this summer will likely be other positions, most notably being a defensive midfielder, but Vivell’s interest could make this one to watch further down the line. “Dominik Szoboszlai has been periodically linked with a variety of top Premier League clubs. Chelsea are the latest,” Jacobs said.
