Chelsea interested German striker after missing out on Endrick

After missing out on Brazilian youngster Endrick, Chelsea have reportedly turned their attention to another 18-year-old German player.

The Blues were interested in signing Endrick, but the 16-year-old appeared to have favoured a move Spanish capital with Real Madrid instead.

According to several reports, the Brazilian forward has reached verbal agreement with Madrid and will sign a six contract deal with the club in 2024.

However, The Secret Scout, a page that accurately reported Chelsea signing Omari Hutchinson from Arsenal, has now claimed that the Blues have opened talks with Dortmund striker Youssoufa Moukoko.

The report says Chelsea sees Moukoko as a more “realistic” signing than Endrick and have already contacted his agent over a possible transfer for German youngster.
