Report: Chelsea make contact for £42m rated 27-year-old, Tottenham also in the race | OneFootball

Chelsea are keeping an eye on Feyenoord star David Hancko after identifying him as a summer target according to reports.

The Blues are facing a crucial summer window, with Enzo Maresca said to be involved in the planning process, and a number of key positions need to be filled.

Chelsea need to sign a striker, centre back and left winger, whilst there’s a possibility they could look to add another midfielder.

The Blues are said to be leading the race for Liam Delap, whilst they also have an interest in Benjamin Sesko, and could revisit a deal for Marc Guehi, who they thought about signing in January.

Chelsea already have 19-year-old centre back Mamdou Sarr arriving from Strasbourg in the summer, but according to TEAMtalk there’s another name on the list.

TEAMtalk add that Tottenham are also interested, whilst European clubs Atletico Madrid and Juventus will provide competition.

The report adds Chelsea are the Premier League side who have shown the most interest so far, and they plan to further monitor the centre back before deciding to make a move.

Feyenoord are believed to want at least £42m to consider the departure of one of their key players, and new manager Robin van Persie will no doubt be desperate to keep hold of the Slovakia international.

Hancko has made 37 appearances in all competition this season for the Dutch giants, who are fourth in the Eredivisie and in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Chelsea are looking for an experienced centre back with leadership qualities this summer, and Hancko would certainly fit the bill, but only time will tell if the Blues decide to make a move.
