Chelsea have joined the race for Tottenham target Rasmus Hojlund
According to Daily Mail, Chelsea have joined Tottenham Hotspur target Rasmus Hojlund and could make a move for him in the summer.
Tottenham are interested in signing the player for quite some time now. The young Danish international has been in fine form for Atalanta this season, with eight goals to his name in all competitions.
With Chelsea looking to bolster their attacking options in the summer transfer window, Hojlund seems to have caught the eye of club owner Todd Boehly. Despite the recent sacking of Graham Potter, it appears that Chelsea are continuing with their transfer strategy, and Hojlund is a key part of their plans.
Hojlund’s performances have not gone unnoticed, and he has attracted interest from a number of top clubs. Tottenham were among the first to take notice of his talent, but the news of Chelsea’s interest will come as a blow to their hopes of signing him.
Tottenham have struggled for goals this season, with Harry Kane bearing the brunt of the attacking burden. The signing of Hojlund would have provided them with a much-needed boost, but it now appears that they will face stiff competition for his signature.
The young striker has been a revelation in Italy since his arrival at Atalanta last summer. He has been one of the standout performers in Serie A this season, and his performances have earned him admirers from across Europe.
While Tottenham’s struggles this season have been well-documented, they will be looking to improve going forward. Tottenham are under a new manager in Cristian Stellini and he is looking to turn the situation around.
With the summer transfer window fast approaching, Tottenham will be hoping to add to their squad and address their goalscoring woes. Hojlund would have been an excellent addition to the team, but it now appears that they will have to look elsewhere to find a striker capable of leading the line.
