According to CalcioMercato (h/t Shields Gazette), Clermont Foot striker Mohamed Bayo is a subject of interest for Chelsea.
The 23-year-old has started his Ligue 1 career with a strong showing in the nine games he has played. The striker has scored five goals and provided two assists in that time.
Last season, he had a goal contribution of 22 goals and seven assists in 38 matches in Ligue 2. His output helped Clermont to reach the top division for the first time in their history.
The forward has also attracted interest from Brighton & Hove Albion, who joins Thomas Tuchel’s side in the race. West Ham United are also said to be keeping tabs on the Guinean international.
The Sun claimed earlier this month that the French club have valued the Guinean striker to be around £10million. Considering our signings in the recent past, this would not be the most expensive deal we negotiate- granted the club actually wants to bring the striker to Stamford Bridge.
For that price, the Guinean forward seems like a steal but the cost can increase if he continues to be impressive. It would only be a matter of time when more clubs start to notice him.
With Lukaku and Timo Werner in the mix, and Kai Havertz who can play in that position, it is not going to be easy for the youngster to get regular playing time right away, if he was to move to Stamford Bridge. But only time will tell what lies ahead for the star striker.
