Transfer News: Chelsea face competition for promising Croatian left-back

Transfer News: Chelsea face competition from Barcelona for Borna Sosa

According to Football London, Chelsea face competition from Barcelona for Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa with Arsenal and Tottenham also said to be interested in the talented Croatian.

Sosa has been impressive for a struggling Stuttgart side this season putting up decent numbers in the Bundesliga. The Croatian has been with the German club since 2018 and has established himself as a very promising defender in European football.

The 24-year-old has played 25 times for the Bundesliga side this season scoring two goals and setting up eight across all competitions. Also capable of playing in the left of midfield in a more advanced role, the young Croatian is versatile and offers a lot going forward.

Chelsea are in talks with Stuttgart to sign left-back Borna Sosa.

In the aftermath of Ben Chilwell’s long-term season derailing injury, Chelsea have been linked heavily to the Stuttgart defender. Barcelona will now stand in our way of landing the player.

The Spanish giants are on the hunt for a left-back to bolster their options in that area and Sosa is the latest addition to the list. With Barcelona joining the race for the talented defender, Chelsea will have to act quickly if they are keen on getting the player.

A solid option?

Injuries have plagued Chelsea in the full-back regions with both Ben Chilwell and Reece James struggling with long term injuries. Whilst James has returned, Chilwell has been ruled for the entire season.

Marcos Alonso has been decent for the Blues at best but the Spaniard is not getting any younger. His contract expires in 2023 and there is every chance that he could be on the move when his contract ends.

Borna Sosa plays in the left wing-back position for VfB Stuttgart.

Whilst Chilwell is expected to return and will reclaim his spot in the team, Sosa will provide a good option for the Blues both as a rotation and eventually a starter.

However, Chelsea will not have it easy with Barcelona’s supposed interest and with Arsenal and Tottenham also interested in the player.

It remains to be seen what happens with Sosa but if Chelsea manages to sign him, he will be a solid option for the Blues, both in the present and the future.

My journey with the beautiful game began with the mesmerizing play of Lionel Messi, whose unparalleled skill turned me into a lifelong Barcelona fan and sparked my passion for football. Writing about football has been a refreshing cocktail of joy, and probably the most intoxicating yet, much like experiencing the 6-1 comeback live.
