According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Chelsea are keen on signing Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies in the summer transfer window. The Premier League club believe that there is an opportunity to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Alphonso Davies is one of the best left-backs
After competing at a couple of clubs, Alphonso Davies arrived at Bayern Munich in the summer of 2018. With hard work and proper coaching, he took it game to a whole new level. At present, he is one of the most highly-rated fullbacks in the world.
Davies is a reliable player for the Bundesliga side. Even this season he represented them in 42 games, netting twice and assisting six assists. He averaged 1.5 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, and 1.1 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
The Canadian international has a strong physique and rapid pace. He is a defender who is tough to take on in one-on-one situations. Interestingly, he is also good at dribbling and can create some chances for his teamamtes in the final third with his accurate key passes.
A good pick but far away from materializing
Chelsea showed signs of improvement but was still far away from fighting for the prestigious trophies. Hence, they must bolster their unit to have better chances next season. For that, they should bring in proven performances who can leave an instant impact on the team’s displays.
In that aspect, the signing of Alphonso Davies would be a great deal. He is experienced and one of the best in the world at his position. His creative mind higher up the pitch will also add to the team’s total goal tally.
However, the Blues will have to beat Real Madrid to acquire his services. For that, they must offer a mouth-watering contract on the table. The only problem that might come in their path is they don’t have a Champions League berth for next season.
The 23-year-old might prefer staying at the German club or moving to a club that can help him fight for some trophies.
