This summer, we saw Chelsea sign a few players from other Premier League or English clubs. Liam Delap was brought in from Ipswich Town after they were relegated. Joao Pedro was signed from Brighton & Hove Albion. Alejandro Garnacho swapped Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge. And Facundo Buonanotte has arrived on loan from the Seagulls.
So, it is pretty clear that Chelsea have their eye on other teams in the Premier League. And that is a smart strategy in many ways because you have a better idea what such players are capable of delivering in England.
Morgan Rogers is someone who is believed to be their top target for the future, despite his poor form this season. On the other hand, it looks like another rising Premier League player has caught the eye of Chelsea, following his tremendous start to the campaign.
As reported by Fichajes, Chelsea are already preparing an offer close to €90 million for Antoine Semenyo. Their plan for the Bournemouth player is serious.
Chelsea preparing €90m offer for Premier League winger
Semenyo is capable of playing on both wings and as a centre-forward. And his start to this campaign has been remarkable to say the very least.
Most people expected Bournemouth to be potential relegation contenders after parting ways with so many key players over the summer. Dean Huijsen left for Real Madrid, Milos Kerkez joined Liverpool and Illia Zabarnyi ended up at PSG. Instead, the Cherries have made a fantastic start to the campaign and look to be in a top four race.
A large part of that is down to Semenyo's brilliant form. He has scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists in 7 appearances in the Premier League so far in this campaign. So, it is not hard to see why Chelsea might have taken notice although it will be interesting to see if he can continue performing at this level throughout the course of the season.
