According to reports, Chelsea are emerging as the leader in the race for Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah. The Premier League club will try signing him in the January window but might find it difficult to execute the plan. For those beginners interested in betting on football matches, it’s important to stay informed about the latest predictions and tips on Premier League games so you can place a well-researched bet.
Jonathan Tah is expected to leave Bayer Leverkusen
Jonathan Tah has been a consistent performer for Bayer Leverkusen since joining them in 2015. He has contributed significantly to the cub’s success, especially in the last season. While many expected him to leave this summer, he continued his stay as no deal progressed.
Tah remains a mainstay in the squad in the ongoing campaign. He has featured in 17 games so far and has found the back of the net once. He is averaging 0.6 tackles, 1.2 key passes, and 2.5 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
The German defender is an intelligent player who deals with the threats really well. He is a physically strong and a dominating force in aerial duels. He is also comfortable on the ball and can adapt to different styles of play.
Jonathan Tah can be a valuable addition
Chelsea are missing an experienced figure at the backline since the departure of Thiago Silva last summer. Hence, the pursuit of Jonathan Tah could be a great move for the club.
Tah has ample experience which would benefit the young talents at Stamford Bridge. His adaptability and consistency will surely excite Enzo Maresca. Moreover, his contract expires next summer, which means it will be a financially feasible deal.
Chelsea will try signing the 28-year-old in the winter window as they are in a great position across all competitions. However, if they fail to bring him in the January window, they might consider trying again in the summer next year. Apart from the Blues, the likes of Real Madrid, Machester United and Liverpool are also present in the race.
