Premier League: Better than Lukaku – Chelsea’s choice of No.9 revealed

Transfer expert and journalist Julien Laurens has revealed that Chelsea have made an offer for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The French reporter said that the Serbian could be a perfect fit at the west London side under Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The striker is being chased by multiple outfits, including Chelsea, Arsenal, PSG, and Bayern Munich, after the Serbia international impressed this season for Juventus.

He scored 14 goals and provided four assists across all competitions.

Laurens told The Byline: “I was told today by someone that Chelsea are in for Vlahovic and have made an offer for him.

“I think Vlahovic is better technically than Lukaku, but he’s still really a goalscorer. There’s not much of an all-round game about him that you can see in [someone like] Harry Kane.

“By the way, Poch made Harry Kane what he is now, a No. 9 and No. 10. But Poch might change; he might just want a proper No. 9, and Vlahovic, I think, will do that really well.

“Lukaku, I think he will go back to Inter, eventually, on loan. Poch will get Vlahovic or maybe somebody else like Osimhen.”
