Chelsea have been handed a huge boost to their hopes of signing Dusan Vlahovic this summer. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge recently, with Mauricio Pochettino said to still be in the market for a striker despite having already signed Nicolas Jackson.
Vlahovic, who sees his contract at the Allianz Stadium expire in 2026, featured 27 times for Juventus in the Serie A last season, finding the net ten times. Despite his misfortunes in front of goal, the Serbia international has reportedly courted the interest of the Blues.
Chelsea have struggled to replace the Didier Drogba over the years, with only Diego Costa and Olivier Giroud coming close to fulfilling the target man role in west London. Several managers have experimented with the likes of Alvaro Morata, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, but none have enjoyed nearly as much success as the Ivorian.
