In a recent interview<\/a>, journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Chelsea are in the running to recruit Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. Bailey said,<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again his people are touching base with potential landing spots \u2013 Chelsea and Tottenham<\/a> have been spoken to by intermediaries. Much will depend on whether he wants a \u2018pay day\u2019 \u2013 he won\u2019t get that in England.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would get major money obviously, but nothing compared to what he could earn in Saudi Arabia \u2013 he would only get more than his current salary at Juventus if he moved to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Vlahovic is just 25. Whilst doing well at Juventus, he hasn\u2019t blown anyone away and you get the feeling he has unfinished business at this point of his career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vlahovic\u2019s Impressive Start To This Serie A Campaign<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vlahovic is having a decent campaign at the Turin club as he has put in a series of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 25-year-old has registered four goals and earned one assist in eight appearances for Juventus this season across multiple competitions.<\/p>\n

The Serbian talent has led the line well for Juve and has done well to average 2.83 shots per 90 minutes in Serie A. He has kept 42.9% of his attempts on target. However, Vlahovic needs to find a way to improve his ball distribution based on his pass completion rate of 58.6% in the Italian top tier (stats via fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What Will Vlahovic Add To Chelsea Boss Enzo Maresca\u2019s Side?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vlahovic is proficient at finding some space for himself to get a few strikes in on target. He has got the vision to engineer the odd chance for his teammates to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n

The Serbia international is also quite clever with his movements in and around the opponent\u2019s penalty area. He has proven his worth as a prolific goal-scorer in Serie A<\/a>, but only time will tell whether he can replicate his good form in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We can expect Vlahovic to add more goals to Chelsea<\/a> head coach Enzo Maresca\u2019s side. He has what it takes to fight for a regular starting place at the West London club.<\/p>\n

At 25, Vlahovic has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Blues to consider this January or next summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
