Chelsea are reportedly mulling over a move to sign Tromso central defender Sedi Kinteh after missing out on Jeremy Jacquet in the January transfer window, after Liverpool agreed a late deal for the defender.
During the whole of the January transfer window, there was constant speculation in the media that CHELSEA were going to be signing Jacquet from Rennes, but the asking price was holding up any potential deal for the Frenchman.
The rumours were constant about whether or not he would join Chelsea, but then Premier League rivals Liverpool swooped in, opened talks with the player and his club, and agreed to bring him to England at the end of the summer for a massive fee of £60 million.
That means that Chelsea have been looking at alternatives for Jacquet, and not it seems that Kinteh is a player that the Blues are very much interested in signing, as the young man has been earning rave reviews with his outstanding performances across an eye-catching debut season in senior football with Tromso this term.
The 19-year-old, known for his athleticism and lightning speed, has made 25 appearances in all competitions for the Norwegian outfit, who sit third in the Eliteserien table, and according to Daily Mail Sport, Chelsea and Manchester United are known to have ‘strong links’ in the Norwegian game and the two giants of English football are ‘weighing up an approach’ for the teenager in the summer.
IcFootballnews Says…
Lets get this straight, CHELSEA want to go into that transfer kitty once again and add another exciting player to the squad, when in fact they need to add some leadership to that back-line.
We are sure that Kinteh is a very talented player, we are sure that he could have a big future in the game, but at the end of the day, he is not ready for this move to Chelsea and it would be a mistake to come to the Premier League.
For Chelsea, they need to add some more experienced players to the side because all these young signings have been hit and miss.
