Chelsea are said to be confident of sealing the potential double transfers of Ligue 1 wonderkids Ayyoub Bouaddi and Brian Madjo.
The Blues have done a superb job with signings like Estevao Willian, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer in recent times, and they are set to continue their policy of signing elite young talents on long-term contracts.
As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, Chelsea are now confident in their approach as Enzo Maresca’s side make great strides this season, while their policy of offering players long-term contracts should also give them an edge in the race for top talent.
Chelsea’s latest wonder targets: Ayyoub Bouaddi and Brian Madjo
Chelsea are the latest big club to take a close interest in Lille midfielder Bouaddi, with Manchester United also keen on the Frenchman.
On top of that, CFC are also very keen on Metz striker Madjo, still only 16, and it seems likely that both of these names will feature prominently in the west London club’s plans in upcoming transfer windows.
Chelsea could also use Strasbourg as an ideal springboard for someone like Bouaddi, who would do well to gain more Ligue 1 experience before moving to the Premier League.
Ayyoub Bouaddi transfer won’t be easy due to long list of suitors
Bouaddi may already look like a bit of an ambitious deal, as the 18-year-old already has plenty of suitors.
Bouaddi has been in the Lille first team for a few years now and he has shown that he is the real deal.
Chelsea would surely be a tempting project for him, but he might also want to play more at a club like Man Utd.
Chelsea already have so many top-class midfielders that it might be harder for them to integrate Bouaddi and give him the playing time he wants.
