Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Australian attacker Mohamed Toure from Randers FC in the coming months.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Chelsea are watching Mohamed Toure closely, and the 21-year-old has impressed them with his performances for club and country. He could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for Chelsea if they manage to get the deal done.
Chelsea have already invested in quality strikers this summer and it would be quite surprising if they decided to sign another goalscorer. The 21-year-old will not be a regular starter for them and it could affect his development negatively. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and Chelsea will not be able to provide him with that opportunity, especially with Liam Delap and Joao Pedro at the club. It will be interesting to see if the 21-year-old is keen on the move to the Premier League club.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite exciting for any player but Toure needs to focus on his development and play regularly. Sitting on the bench at Chelsea would be detrimental to his growth.
Chelsea eyeing recruitments for the future
Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking to build a talented squad for the future and it is no surprise that they are keen on the 21-year-old striker. The Australian has a bright future ahead of him and it remains to be seen what he decides. Chelsea should have no problems agreeing on a fee with his club Randers FC. The Danish Superliga outfit could demand a premium for him and the Blues have the financial muscle to pay up. It remains to be seen whether they follow up on their scouting missions with an official proposal to sign the striker in the coming months.
He would be a long-term investment for them. Chelsea have done well to improve their squad during the summer transfer window and they will be hoping to finish as high as possible in the Premier League. They have made a mediocre start to the Premier League campaign and it remains to be seen whether they can improve the team further during the January window and bounce back strongly during the second half of the season.
