Chelsea makes moves to sign PSG star Bradley Barcola

There has been some shock reports in the media which have claimed that Chelsea are the latest Premier League club to enquire over the potential signing of Bradley Barcola this January transfer window

Barcola, who has been described as ‘one of the best wingers in the world’, was a key member of the PSG squad that won the treble last season, but this season he has found regular game time more difficult to come by, as Luis Enrique has preferred to use Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as his front three

That has made the player desire a move away from the French capital with a host of clubs said to be interested in his services including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Bayern Munich all interested in a move.

According to TEAMtalk, CHELSEA are one of the many clubs to have held initial talks with intermediaries over Barcola to see if they can yet win the crowded race for his signature, but it is thought that any move for the 23-year-old will occur in the summer.

PSG are open to letting the attacker leave the club, but want to keep hold until at least the summer, as they would get the best price, and would be able to replace the Frenchman if he does depart.

IcFootballnews Says…

Barcola is far too talented to be sitting on the bench and watching his career pass him bye, so a move to another club probably needs to happen unless he can fight his way back into the side at PSG.

CHELSEA would be a very good option for Barcola to make if he wants to challenge for trophies, but in terms of playing time, there are enough quality players at the Emirates to keep Barcola out of the side.

If he does leave PSG, he needs to make sure it is for a team where he can actually play, like Man United or Liverpool, they are probably the two top Premier League sides that need  wingers the most.
