Chelsea are already turning their attention to the summer transfer window following a disastrous fortnight in Europe and the Premier League.
The Blues were humiliated by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16, losing 5-2 in the first leg before a 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge saw them exit 8-2 on aggregate.
Their misery was compounded with a Premier League loss to Newcastle over the weekend, leaving Liam Rosenior with plenty to fix ahead of next season.
Chelsea Monitoring Fisnik Asllani
Chelsea are reported to be tracking Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani, who has emerged as one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting talents this season.
The 23-year-old has gone from a fringe player to a domestic standout, netting nine top-flight goals and showcasing his ability to lead the line with physicality (he’s 6’2″) and precision.
According to BILD, both Chelsea and Tottenham are weighing up moves for Asllani, while Bayern Munich have also expressed interest. His playing style — a combination of pressing, finishing, and presence in the final third — makes him an ideal fit for the Premier League.
Former Union Berlin youth coach André Hofschneider has hailed Asllani as a “guaranteed goal scorer” who “always makes things look so easy,” highlighting why multiple clubs are keen to secure his signature.
With Chelsea set to rebuild under Rosenior, Asllani represents a potential game-changing addition up front. While interest is mounting across Europe, the Blues appear determined to move quickly to bring in a proven goal threat who can transform their attacking options next season.
