Chelsea now looking at fresh target to bolster frontline as they eye £70m Belgian playing in Euro 2024

Chelsea have expressed interest in signing highly impressive Lois Openda

According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea expressed interest in RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda months ago. The Belgian youngster playing in Euro 2024 has met a number of their requirements as they have been scouting him in their quest to bolster the frontline.

The Blues are looking to sign a top attacker who can help them return to the top four in the English Premier League.

Chelsea are interested in signing RB Leipzig’s 24-year-old Belgium striker, Lois Openda.

They have spoken with several talented players and even had the possibility of signing Jhon Duran; nevertheless, they are interested in another youngster who has impressed club recruiters.

His versatility to play anywhere across the front three and drop into gaps is a significant plus and a vital component of what Chelsea are seeking under new boss Maresca.

He wants a forward who can fit into his system and be part of an attacking group, rather than relying on a single number nine. The Belgian caught the eye when he came off the bench on Monday, setting up Romelu Lukaku for what appeared to be a well-worked equaliser, only to have the goal disallowed for a violent handball in the build-up.

We can understand that Chelsea want to focus on the system rather than individuals which bodes well going forward for the club.

A sizable payment this summer might persuade the Bundesliga side to cash in, especially if the player goes on to play a more prominent role in the Euros—as his appearance on Monday indicated. The better his performances are in the Championship, the higher his praise would go up from a RB Leipzig perspective.

When comparing Openda to some of Chelsea’s other striker targets, he appears to be an excellent choice, and we can’t wait to see the 24-year-old striker in action at Stamford Bridge should the club choose to sign him.
