Chelsea have reportedly joined the chase for Manchester City wing-back Oleksandr Zinchenko who is a coveted name in this summer’s transfer window.
The Blues are looking to bring in a new signing to provide competition in the left wing-back role for the returning Ben Chilwell with Thomas Tuchel likely to part ways with Marcos Alonso.
Alonso has emerged as a top name on the shopping list for La Liga giants FC Barcelona and the Catalan outfit are expected to step up their pursuit of the Spanish international before the transfer window slams shut.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, it is now suggested that Tuchel’s west Londoners have registered an interest in moving in for the Ukrainian Zinchenko which could set the stage for a battle with local rivals Arsenal on the transfer front.
The highly-rated Zinchenko can slot in at wing back and in central midfield and despite his stellar showings over the years at the Etihad, he has been unable to cement his berth on Pep Guardiola’s team sheet.
