Chelsea Eyeing Late January Move for Talented Young Striker
Chelsea are reportedly considering a late January transfer bid for promising young Lyon forward Enzo Molebe. The 17-year-old has caught the eye with his performances for the French club, even featuring in the Europa League.
According to reports from France, Chelsea are interested in signing Molebe before the transfer window closes. The Blues could potentially sign the striker and then loan him to Strasbourg for the remainder of the season.
Molebe is seen as a talented prospect for the future. He has been described as having “quick feet” and compared to forwards like Thierry Henry, Alexander Isak and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in playing style.
While Chelsea are monitoring Molebe’s situation, the young striker will need to carefully consider his options if an offer arrives. At just 17, regular first-team football should be his priority rather than an immediate move to a top Premier League club.
Chelsea are yet to make any signings this January but have been linked with several attacking players. Manager Enzo Maresca is reportedly keen to boost his forward options after some disappointing performances against top teams recently.
It remains to be seen if Chelsea will make a concrete move for Molebe this month or continue tracking his development. The talented teenager appears to have a bright future ahead of him, whether at Lyon or potentially at Stamford Bridge down the line.
