Since Todd Boehly took Roman Abramovich’s place, Chelsea has made a major effort to acquire top players from around the world.
To acquire players like Kendry Paez, Estevao (whom Enzo Maresca referred to as “fantastic”), Mike Penders, Aaron Anselmino, and others before they might become household names in a few years, the Blues have spent millions under the American.
With Enzo Maresca leading the team, Chelsea seemed to be constructing something tangible after a difficult start under Boehly and four different managers Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Frank Lampard, and Mauricio Pochettino all holding the reins.
Chelsea is pursuing Christantus Uche, indicating that the Blues are still not content with their recruitment efforts despite an outstanding start to the 2024–25 Premier League season.
Chelsea asks about Christantus Uche, the Getafe wonderkid.
Chelsea has, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo, asked Getafe what it would take to sign Christantus Uche.
The Nigerian, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, is a special skill since he can play both defensive midfield and striker, a rare combination of versatility that is rarely seen in football.
In their opinion, Chelsea has contacted Getafe to enquire about Uche since the 21-year-old possesses the qualities required to succeed in the Premier League, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Spanish news source simply mentions that Uche cost the Spanish team €500,000 (£415,000) when he moved from Ceuta back in the summer, without revealing how much Getafe values him.
At Stamford Bridge, Enzo Maresca requires a stable environment.
Even if Uche is an interesting possibility, Chelsea should take it easy on transfers.
The Chelsea Blues have recruited Omari Kellyman, whom Tottenham retreated from, Cesare Casadei, Marc Guiu, Caleb Wiley, and Deivid Washington to their roster of wonderkids since Boehly came.
To illustrate how strange the hiring process has been at times, Chelsea also signed Diego Moreira and Angelo Gabriel soon after Boehly took control, both of whom have now left permanently despite only making one appearance between them.
With so many young players still waiting to see what the future holds at Stamford Bridge, it would be insane to add another player to Maresca’s starting lineup, which is the best thing about Chelsea this season.
