Chelsea has had more than a month to make use of the summer transfer market, strengthening a number of positions with some intriguing signings.

After his contract with Fulham expired, Tosin Adarabioyo was signed on a free transfer. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall of Leicester City joined for a £30 million cost, and Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman, and Renato Veiga were added to the Stamford Bridge roster to further bolster the team’s youthful flair.

But the Blues are far from finished; further weaponry is being sought to bolster Enzo Maresca’s front line.

Chelsea and great talent are in talks to signAccording to Caught Offside, Bayern Munich recently made an unsuccessful attempt to recruit Desire Doue, a youngster from Rennes, for €35 million (£29 million). Chelsea is reportedly among the suitors to sign Doue.Chelsea and Tottenham are reportedly in talks to finalize a deal, and they now have a genuine opportunity to outbid Rennes and sign Doue, with the latter demanding a price tag of €50 million (£42 million).

What Chelsea would gain from Desire DoueBen Mattinson, an analyst, referred to Doue as a “entertainer” and praised his style, technique, and flair. He even suggested that Doue was similar to Jamal Musiala, a standout player for Bayern Munich and one of the best technicians in the league.Musiala’s rapid rise would irritate some because Chelsea let him go in 2019, before he had made a senior debut. However, signing Doue could be seen as a kind of vindication.

Doue, who came up through Rennes’ youth ranks and has since been labeled a “special talent” by analyst Mattinson, has made 76 appearances for the senior team. His manager has faith in his skill set, which is evident in the impressive degree of fluidity and positional bendability that Doue has demonstrated.Doue can play a variety of positions well, but his primary position is that of a left-sided attacking midfielder, and for good reason. According to FBref, he is in the top 15% for tackles, the top 21% for shot-creating actions per 90, and the top 6% of positional peers in Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for progressive passes, successful take-ons, and interceptions.
