Ukrainian Striker on Chelsea's Radar

Chelsea is eyeing Girona star Artem Dovbyk as they look to strengthen their striking options. Dovbyk's impressive performance in LaLiga, with 11 goals and four assists, has caught the attention of Mauricio Pochettino and his scouts.

Adding "Weight" to the Blues Front Line

Pochettino sees Dovbyk as the ideal player to provide competition for Nicolas Jackson in the number 9 position. With Jackson set to represent Senegal in the African Cup of Nations, Chelsea is keen to secure a strong replacement.

Dovbyk's Profile Appeals to Chelsea

Chelsea is attracted to Dovbyk's physical presence and believes he can bring a new dimension to their attacking lineup. The 26-year-old's tall stature and impressive performances have earned him a place on the Blues' transfer shortlist.

Exit of Armando Broja

The potential arrival of Dovbyk could be facilitated by the departure of Armando Broja. The 22-year-old is looking for more playing time and offers for him are expected in January.

Close Friendship and Same Agent

Dovbyk shares a close friendship with Mykhailo Mudryk, who happens to be his agent. The pair talk to each other every day, which could further facilitate a potential move to Chelsea.

Possible Transfer Fee

Dovbyk's contract with Girona runs until 2028, and he could be sold for a fee of around 45 million euros or £39m.
