Sources have told LondonsFirst that members of the recruitment team are keen on Dusan Vlahovic.

Vlhaovic could leave Juventus this summer, with the Italians in need of raising funds.

Chelsea are being kept informed on his situation and he is on the shortlist. Chelsea will not do anything, if at all, until Juventus’s sporting structure is finalised for the new season. This is because potentially new individuals will make big decisions on key players such as Dusan.

Members of Chelsea’s recruitment team feel that Vlahovic was unique ball-striking abilities, can be coached into more of an all-round striker and would benefit from a more progressive style of play.

Chelsea followed Vlahovic under the previous regime also.

Newly confirmed head coach Mauricio Pochettino is set to have a big say in transfer decisions this summer as the club want to show a strategic approach and backing.

LondonsFirst also understands Dusan’s representatives have informed Chelsea of their clients interest in making a move to England.
