Chelsea won the Premier League this season in emphatic style and are looking to repeat their superb feat next term as well. Their Italian coach, Antonio Conte, is well aware of the fact that they will be facing some of the biggest teams in Europe in the Champions League as well in the forthcoming season and will need to bring in quite a few top class players who have been performing well for their respective sides for the last few seasons.
Hakan Calhanoglu, the Turkish midfielder has been one of the players who has been serving his club Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga with absolute grit and has been performing well for them over the last few years. The Blues coach, Conte, has been eyeing the midfielder, who has sealed his place as a free kick specialist over the years, to strengthen his side’s midfield, which is the most crucial part of his new 3-4-3 formation that fetched him tremendous success in the Premier League in his first season as manager at the West London club.
Calhanoglu, reportedly, might be given the green signal to leave his current club if there is a deal which has to be well structured, to say the least. The Turkish international has a release clause of £32.5 million on him, but his club might negotiate with the potential suitor to lower the prescribed price if it a deal that might be satisfactory or them.
The brilliant midfielder is best known for his free kicks, which are deadly on most of the occasions and can cause trouble to any goalkeeper in the world with the amount of swerve on the ball caused by the style of kick taken by the right-footed player.
Calhanoglu had a great season this term with his current club Leverkusen and is looking to achieve greater accolades in the future. The 23-year-old has been at the best of his form, thus making it clear that he is ready for a new challenge with a new club.
The Turkish international has been nothing less than spectacular for Bayer Leverkusen this season, scoring seven goals to show for his efforts. He also has laid off seven assists for his teammates to help them score goals this term. His amazing running and dribbling skills have been the talk of the town for quite sometimes now, and his ability to score from set pieces as well as open play has been of top quality. Reportedly, Arsenal have also been eyeing Calhanoglu and might look to bring him in the team next term.
