Chelsea have thrown their hat in the ring for Manchester United target Jeremie Frimpong who has impressed many with his showings for Bayer Leverkusen.
The Blues’ arch-rivals United have been credited with a strong interest in moving in for Frimpong with the 21-year-old emerging into one of the most promising names in world football since his departure from Celtic in 2021.
He came through Manchester City’s youth setup making the move to Scottish giants Celtic in 2019 and his latest stint in the Bundesliga has earned him interest from some of the biggest clubs across the continent.
According to a report from The Sun, it is claimed that west London heavyweights Chelsea are keeping close tabs on the Dutch starlet set to fight it out with United for his signature when the transfer window reopens for business come January.
A long-term injury to Reece James, who is likely to be sidelined until after the New Year, has forced the Chelsea boss Graham Potter to look for an emergency signing to bolster his defensive roster.
