Chelsea are in talks with PSV Eindhoven over a deal to sign promising young winger Noni Madueke this January, football.london understands. The 20-year-old is of interest to the Blues as further reinforcements for the forward lines are eyed in the coming weeks.
It comes after a turbulent few months for the west London club, who are still transitioning from an old regime to their new one after a change of ownership last year. A complete overhaul of the backroom staff was followed by new coaches making their way to the side.
The players are often the final group to be shuffled around, given the long contracts and time it takes to refresh a squad, however a new philosophy geared towards young talent is currently being pursued. Signing players such as David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Benoit Badiashile in this window alone is enough to show that desire to create a model for the future.
