Chelsea have reportedly asked for information on the situation of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as they continue to keep an eye out for potential signings up front.
The Blues have shown an interest in Vlahovic, who is valued at around £60m by Juve, though it’s seemingly felt that the Serbia international is happy at his current club and likely to sign a new contract, according to TBR Football.

The report from TBR Football also mentions interest from Arsenal, and notes that the 24-year-old previously turned down the chance to join the Gunners.

Still, Vlahovic would perhaps be a more reliable option up front for Enzo Maresca’s side, so it could be smart business by CFC to bring someone like him in to at least provide Jackson with more competition.

Chelsea have a long-term project in place and although someone like Vlahovic might be tempting, it’s also surely worth showing a bit more faith in Jackson as he finally starts to show the potential that convinced the west…
