Chelsea’s strategy over the past few seasons has been very appealing to everyone. They are not hesitating to spend large to bring talented players to the club. They plan to build a core team of young players and transfer them into superstars in the near future.
The Blues now have identified Brest defender Bradley Locko as a valuable target for the summer window, according to TeamTalk. The player is rated highly within the club and they believe he has the potential to become one of the best left-backs in the world.
Bradley Locko has the potential to become one of the best
French footballer Bradley Locko played for many youth academies before he joined Brest in the winter of 2023. Looking at his huge talent, the Ligue 1 club decided to sign him on a four-year deal in the summer for a reported fee of €500.000.
In a quick period, the 21-year-old defender has managed to cement his position in the starting lineup. He has featured in 28 games this season so far and has two assists to his name. However, he has yet to score his maiden goal for the club.
Locko is equally good in both the attacking and defensive aspects of the game. He covers good ground to provide a defensive layer apart from tackles. With good dribbling skills, he is very effective with his crossed and through balls. However, the youngster can improve his finishing in front of the opposition’s goal.
Chelsea want to invest in the youngster
Chelsea are willing to sell Marc Cucurella in the summer if a lucrative offer arrives. Hence, they are in the market for his backup. Though Bradley Locko is not a direct replacement, he could be used as a substitute until he grooms into a complete package.
The French defender lacks Premier League experience but has enough time to improve. He can be a long-term solution for the Blues. However, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Borussia Dortmund are also keeping tabs on the player.
