As the January transfer window nears, teams begin to assess their options ahead of making some potential moves for players and that is exactly what Chelsea are doing, with the Blues reportedly in advanced negotiations for Borussia Dortmund striker Youssoufa Moukoko.
π¨ Chelsea are exploring the possibility of signing Youssoufa Moukoko next month!
A move to Chelsea is not done but other Premier League clubs are under the impression it is advanced, given it may have implications for the availability of Armando Broja.

Todd Boehly hasnβt been shy to obtain some of the best young talent for the Blues with the likes of Omari Hutchinson, Carney Chukuemeka and Cesare Casadei just three new youngsters among many more that arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer.
However, Moukoko is a different prospect altogether with the 18-year old having already made a name for himself in the Bundesliga, scoring 11 goals in 59 games for Die Borussen since his debut for the senior side in December 2020.

The Cameroon-born forward has also made two appearances for the German national team, being called up by Hansi Flick for their World Cup campaign and becoming the youngest German player at the World Cup aged 18 years and three days.
The Moukoko links with Chelsea arise following Armando Brojaβs suspected ACL injury that he picked up in the Bluesβ pre-season friendly with Aston Villa yesterday, which Graham Potterβs team lost 1-0.
