Chelsea has buying fever. In summer as in winter, the Blues do not hesitate to check out to acquire more and more players. A year ago, Todd Boehly and his teams spent around 370 million euros to recruit Enzo Fernandez, Malo Gusto (arrived during the summer), Mykhaylo Mudryk, Benoît Badiashile, Noni Madueke, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana and João Félix (paid loan).

This Tuesday, Sport And The Sun reveal that the English club really appreciates Artem Dovbyk.
Author of a good season in Girona, the 26-year-old Ukrainian (11 goals, 5 assists in 18 appearances including 13 starts) is being courted. There is even talk of a future offer of 45 million euros for the player, supervised on several occasions at the request of Mauricio Pochettino. Girona does not close the door but will not give a gift. For his part, Dovbyk could meet his compatriot Mudryk in London. Before that, Chelsea will have to sign a big check. A habit when it comes time for the transfer window…
