As per the reports of Football.London, the Blues are interested in Gent‘s Archie Brown. Chelsea management sees him as a great talent, who can fill up their void defense in the near future. While veteran left back Ben Chilwell will be leaving the club in the upcoming windows, the Blues are looking through the transfer market for a solid back-up option.
Chelsea’s defense have been a big concern for them in the recent years. It costed them big European games as well as important points in the Premier League. Even though, after the arrival of new manager Enzo Maresca, the Blues are playing good football and currently are at the 3rd place at the table. But their weakness is yet to be fixed, as they have conceded several goals due to sloppy defenders already.
While the Chelsea scouts will be looking for a defender in the market they will also be looking for fullbacks. As the Blues are very short staffed at both the sides. And that is why Archie Brown has become a ‘hot pick’ for the Blues.
Why Chelsea wants Archie Brown?
Chelsea’s desire to sign Archie Brown is completely understandable. As the Englishman has already aced all the positions in defense. He can play as a fullback, as a center back and even as a holding midfielder if needed. To be a player who can play at all those positions that too at the age of 22, is just top class.
Apart from all his abilities as a defender, Chelsea is also attracted by the player’s age. As the Blues are building a project with young and talented players who can serve the club for a long period of time. And Archie does ticks off that criterion.
However, it will be not easy for Chelsea to strike a deal and bring in Archie Brown in the summer. As clubs like Juventus, West Ham, Milan are also monitoring the £15 million lad as a top priority signing.
