Chelsea have stepped up their interest in German striker Nicolo Tresoldi of Belgian club Club Brugge, joining Arsenal in the race to sign him. The London club discussed the player internally in recent days, having monitored him for some time, according to the report.
Tresoldi, 22, scored 13 goals in his first 15 appearances in all competitions this season and also caught the eye with his performances in the Champions League.
Chelsea are looking to strengthen their attacking depth, but the report raises the question of whether Tresoldi would have regular opportunities to play, given that João Pedro has been established as the first-choice striker. Arsenal, meanwhile, are seeking an additional option up front, with the report noting the situations of Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyökeres, and that Gabriel Jesus left in the summer without the club having found an adequate replacement for him so far.
The report views a move to Chelsea positively because the club is focused on signing and developing young talent, but also points to challenges related to the direction of the club’s project and its absence from European competitions after the 2025/26 season. The report also expects other clubs from England and abroad to enter the race soon.
