Chelsea want to sign a new winger this summer, and it is quite clear who their main targets are.
Chelsea have made two offers for Jamie Gittens already, so the Borussia Dortmund star looks to be the name at the top of their list.
The Blues have also been heavily linked with Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho. It is thought that he will be allowed to leave Old Trafford before the 2025/26 season starts.
Former Chelsea striker Tore Andre Flo, though, has begged the Blues to snap up another winger.

Tore Andre Flo urges Chelsea to sign Antonio Nusa
It is being reported that Chelsea are considering making a move for Antonio Nusa, who is not a new name on their list.
Chelsea were interested in signing Nusa in 2023, but nothing materialised in the end. Two years later, and Flo would still like to see his compatriot at Stamford Bridge.
He told the Metro: “I’ve been watching the national team for a bit now. There are some big superstars in there but [Chelsea] wouldn’t be able to buy Erling Haaland or Martin Odegaard. There is a player called Antonio Nusa.
“I think he is very, very exciting. I’ve just seen him play against Italy and he was amazing in that game. I think he’d be possible to buy for a big club like Chelsea.”

The Blues could really do with Nusa, Gittens or another winger as they get ready for the Club World Cup.
With Jadon Sancho returning to United, Chelsea are lacking wide attackers at the moment. Enzo Maresca will start the tournament with just Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke and Tyrique George.

How Antonio Nusa fared against Italy
Flo was not exaggerating with his praise of Nusa following his performance in Norway’s 3-0 victory over Italy.
The 20-year-old was excellent, scoring one goal and grabbing an assist. He also completed four out of the six dribbles he attempted.

All in all, Nusa is showing that he has a lot of potential. Given that and his age, it would not be a surprise if Chelsea did go on to make a move for him.
The former Club Brugge star ticks a lot of boxes for them. He is the profile of player the club have been signing since being taken over by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali. For now, though, Chelsea are focusing on securing Gittens’ signature.
