Transfer News: Chelsea to rival Manchester City for Jonathan Clauss

According to transfer news from Express, Chelsea are set to rival Manchester City for the signing of Jonathan Clauss. The Lens wing-back has been a standout performer this season and that has led to interest from a bunch of clubs.

It’s not even been one year since the 28-year-old Frenchman arrived from Armenia Bielefeld, however, he has managed to make himself an indispensable asset for Lens. He also moved on a free transfer which means that it has been all the sweeter.

So far, Clauss has scored thrice and assisted six times this campaign. He has been a key part of the Lens side that are sixth in Ligue 1 currently. Calls to the national team have also been doing the rounds after an impressive season. Clauss is a versatile customer who can play anywhere on the right flank, predominantly featuring as a wing-back.

However, his good form has not gone past clubs like Chelsea. A move of around €6-10m could be expected. However, they will have competition, none bigger than their Champions League final opponents Manchester City. There has also been reported interest from Sevilla.

Chelsea could actually do with a right-wingback given how Reece James and Callum Hudson-Odoi have been shoehorned into the position. Clauss represents a low-risk signing that could just work wonders for the Blues.
