Despite ridicule from the likes of Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and others since Todd Boehly completed his joint £4.25billion takeover of Chelsea with Clearlake Capital back in May, his doubters may be eating their own words due to a significant move made behind the scenes which has put the Blues in prime position to secure one of Europe's most sought after forwards.
Christopher Nkunku, 24, has been a Chelsea target for some time now, dating back to his Paris Saint-Germain days but Boehly's data-led regime has put the Frenchman firmly on his radar.
With the Blues wanting to heavily use data coupled with Graham Potter's recommendations to shape the face of their recruitment strategy, the new scheme has identified the RB Leipzig star as someone for whom Chelsea just cannot miss out on due to the fear of competition from some of the European elite.
