According to transfer news from Metro, Chelsea linked Duvan Zapata has kept the possibility of a move to the Premier League open. The Atalanta striker is a fan of the English game and has been linked to Chelsea in the past.
A prolific striker in Serie A, Zapata has already scored 10 goals this season as Atalanta fight for the top-four spots. However, recently, the Colombian has emerged as a target for the Blues, with Thomas Tuchel keen on adding to his forward options in the summer.
Chelsea have a very weird dilemma regarding their forward options. The club has three strikers and each comes with its own problem.
New signing Timo Werner has failed to nail a starting spot due to his struggles in front of goal. Tammy Abraham hasn’t featured much due to injury troubles but it does not look like the club see him as their main option.
Lastly, there is Olivier Giroud, who despite showing quality, is 34 years of age. That has led to Thomas Tuchel tinkering with the side and stumbling upon playing Kai Havertz as a false-nine. While that has worked well for the player, Chelsea could really do with a prolific goal-getter.
Now, Zapata has given us some hope in our pursuit of him, not denying when asked about moving to the Premier League.
‘My future in the Premier League? Never say never in football!’
There will be the small factor of Zapata being a childhood Arsenal fan, While that shouldn’t be much of an issue in the professional game, Chelsea would be wise to go after him early with rivals Arsenal also being linked to him.
