Chelsea are ‘closing in on’ putting a deal in place to land a Leeds United target in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Alan Nixon.
Enzo Maresca has Chelsea sitting in fourth spot in the Premier League and in with a shout of bringing Champions League football back to Stamford Bridge next season. The Blues are expected to again add to their squad when the summer window opens as Maresca looks to further fine-tune his group.
His eyes have been drawn towards a prospect in La Liga that Leeds United are keen on capturing. Chelsea are advancing and are now ‘closing in on’ a deal to land Sporting Lisbon midfielder Dario Essugo.
Essugo is currently on loan in La Liga at Las Palmas, and his displays in the center of the park have been drawing admiring glances. Leeds are firm fans and could be in a position to offer Premier League football next summer, but it is Chelsea who are in pole position.
Chelsea’s Pursuit of Dario Essugo
The Blues want to quickly agree a fee with Sporting Lisbon for the midfielder to see off competition. Essugo, a promising young talent, has been on the radar of several clubs, including Leeds United.
However, Chelsea’s recent progress in negotiations suggests they are now the frontrunners to secure his signature. The move would bolster Maresca’s midfield options and potentially deny Leeds the opportunity to add the player to their squad.
Essugo’s performances in La Liga have caught the attention of several European clubs, and his potential has been widely recognized. The prospect of joining Chelsea, a perennial contender for trophies, could be an enticing proposition for the young midfielder.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the race for Dario Essugo’s signature is heating up, with Chelsea currently leading the charge to land the Sporting Lisbon prospect.
