According to Fichajes, Chelsea are considering signing LOSC Lille attacker Edon Zhegrova in the next summer transfer window. The Premier League club are impressed with the player’s progress and want to invest early in him.
Who is Edon Zhegrova?
Edon Zhegrova has represented the likes of Genk, Basel, and Lille so far. He signed for the latter in the winter of 2022 and has been associated with him to date. He has made impressive progress as a player and is an exciting talent to watch out for.
Zhegrova scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists in 47 games last season. He averaged 2.5 shots, 1.4 key passes, and 2.7 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored). No wonder why Lille tried their best and didn’t lose the player this summer.
Zhegrova is a typical right-winger who likes to cut in towards the goal of creating threats. He is an excellent dribbler and can score from a variety of positions. Off the ball, he runs a lot of press and helps in the defensive duties.
Does Chelsea need Edon Zhegrova?
Chelsea’s summer transfer window has been chaotic with multiple names coming in and going out. This has become a trademark for them ever since the new owners took place. Though the next summer is long away, they have started planting their trees from now.
The Blues have shown interest in signing Edon Zhegrova. They want to strike an early deal with Lille so that no other club can lure away the talent. However, the English giant might have to pay a premium fee to acquire his services.
On paper, Chelsea need no more wingers as they have plenty already. However, it’s evident that the club will not shy away from adding exciting talents to the squad. As the player has already hit the ground and has high potential, it could be an intelligent deal for them.
