Chelsea are interested in signing Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa, according to reports in the French media.
Foot Mercato claim that “a meeting has already taken place” between the Blues and the Algerian’s representative Mohamed Dahmane.
Feynoord are said to be aware that Liam Rosenior’s team are circling the player, but there have been no club-to-club negotiations regarding a transfer so far.
Moussa has recently returned from the African Cup of Nations, where he helped his country, Algeria, reach the quarter-finals before they were knocked out by Nigeria.
What do Chelsea fans need to know about the forward?
Despite playing for Algeria, Moussa was actually born in Paris, and he came through the youth system of Lens.

The 23-year-old made severak appearances for their B team, but he left to join Belgian club Olympic Charleroi on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.
Since then, Moussa has played for Patro Eisden and had a loan spell at Vitesse Arnhem, where he attracted the attention of Feyenoord. He moved to Rotterdam at the start of last season.
During his first 12 months, the Algerian international scored 11 goals and provided 6 assists, and he has kept up that form this campaign with another 7 goals and 3 assists. He is usually deployed on the right flank, cutting in onto his stronger left foot.
Is a player like Moussa really needed?
It’s hard to see where the Feyenoord star would fit in at Stamford Bridge. The first-team squad already has two left-footed wingers in Pedro Neto and Estevao. Moreover, Geovany Quenda will arrive from Sporting Lisbon at the end of the season.
Chelsea’s interest in Antoine Semenyo clearly shows that the recruitment team still want to strengthen in wide areas, but a move for Moussa would not make a lot of sense, considering the options the club already have on the right wing.
