Chelsea looks like that she will continue her policy to develop young and developing players in the middle of interest in specifying signing Brighton & Hove Albion striker Georginio Rutter.
The blues want a long -term value or the future profitability of their recruits, and Rutter, who are versatile enough to play as “number nine”, “number ten”, and only 22 years old on both wings.
Rutter contributed 13 goals in 34 games for Brighton in all competitions this season, and Sky Germany Chelsea report “monitors” his situation.
The France-U21 international is said to have been added to the Blues’s short list, not only with one eye on this summer, but also for future windows if nothing materializes before the next season.
Chelsea has more reason than most to be hot on Rutter. He joined her as a wing player in a 4-2 blues victory in the Premier League in September, before he entered and assisted as ‘number ten’ when Brighton recently won a tie in the fourth round in FA Cup.
Rutter was brought to the Premier League for the first time when Leeds United paid the Bundesliga team Hoffenheim a Club -record £ 33.5 million. He remained in the championship at Leeds after relegation, but then Brighton was sufficiently convinced to spend £ 40 million out last summer – and broke her club record.
Instead of being looking for a central striker, Rutter could be an ideal option to replace Jadon Sancho. The blues are currently obliged to pay £ 25 million in order to make this loan permanently, but could pay a penalty of 5 million GBP to separate or even sell immediately if Sancho is signed.
The player’s own preference will be the third magic in Borussia Dortmund, the only club in which he has so far thrived in his career.
