The1905.Club Summary

Chelsea are looking to strengthen their attack before the January transfer window closes. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Mathys Tel remains a target, with discussions about a £40m move or a swap involving Christopher Nkunku ongoing. Tel has struggled for minutes at Bayern Munich, making a deal increasingly possible. Chelsea hope the young French forward can bring competition for Nicolas Jackson, who is struggling with form.

Key Points

  • Busy Week Ahead: Chelsea are preparing for an active transfer deadline, with attacking reinforcements a priority.
  • Mathys Tel as a Target: Bayern Munich’s 19-year-old forward Mathys Tel could be available for £40m or as part of a swap deal involving Christopher Nkunku.
  • Limited Game Time for Tel: The Frenchman has not played in Bayern’s last three matches, potentially opening the door for a move.
  • Chelsea’s Striker Concerns: Nicolas Jackson’s recent struggles in front of goal have prompted the club to look for additional attacking options.
  • Swap Deal Possibility: Nkunku’s reduced role under Enzo Maresca may pave the way for a deal with Bayern Munich.
