Chelsea Adds Coman To List Of Potential Signing

Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel are interested in signing Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman.

The French international still has two years contract with Bayern Munich but he is open to negotiation with other clubs and Chelsea is one of the clubs that is eyeing to sign him. The 24-year-old scored eight goals and picked up 15 assists in the German giants’ title-winning season.

‘A move away is not ruled out but Bayern’s price appears to have changed Coman’s stance,’ the report claims. ‘It’s stated that he can now imagine leaving free of charge in 2023 just like David Alaba.’

Lukaku Compared To Drogba

Lukaku has been compared to former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba by BBC Sport Journalist Garth Crooks.

According to Garth Crooks:

‘He has worked extremely hard for his success,’ Crooks said. ‘He played for West Bromwich Albion, Everton, Manchester United, Inter Milan and has now returned to Chelsea where it all started.

‘However, what I see at this stage of his career is another Drogba. The player’s touch with his back to goal is better and his all-round football contribution is much improved.’

‘Arsenal couldn’t handle him,’ Crooks added. ‘Most other teams in the Premier League are going to have the same problem this season against Lukaku.’

Chelsea Pushing To Sign Jules Kounde
