According to journalist and transfer specialist Julien Laurens, Chelsea has made a bid for Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic.

According to the French journalist, Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of the Blues, might make the Serbian player an ideal fit for the west London team.

Chelsea, Arsenal, PSG, and Bayern Munich are among the teams vying for the striker after the Serbian international stood out for Juventus this season.

Over all competitions, he scored 14 goals and gave four assists.

Laurens told The Byline:

“I was told today by someone that Chelsea are in for Vlahovic and have made an offer for him.

“I think Vlahovic is better technically than Lukaku, but he’s still really a goalscorer. There’s not much of an all-round game about him that you can see in [someone like] Harry Kane.

“By the way, Poch made Harry Kane what he is now, a No. 9 and No. 10. But Poch might change; he might just want a proper No. 9, and Vlahovic, I think, will do that really well.

“Lukaku, I think he will go back to Inter, eventually, on loan. Poch will get Vlahovic or maybe somebody else like Osimhen.”
