Chelsea have been performing well under Enzo Maresca in the latest games in the Premier League. They are now fighting for the top four spot so that they can qualify for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) next season. If they do qualify for Europe, they will need a lot more quality players in the squad, and hence, the summer transfer window might play a part in that.
The Blues have always kept tabs on young players who can serve the team for a long time. They might let Carney Chukwuemeka, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Lesley Ugochukwu leave in the summer and so might be looking at a midfielder from the transfer market. Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo have been superb for them, while Romeo Lavia will be a long-term option at the club.
Chelsea Want To Sign Dilane Bakwa:
According to a report by German outlet Fussball News, Chelsea want to sign 22-year-old midfielder Dilane Bakwa from RC Strasbourg. The report has reiterated that the Ligue 1 side will be demanding €30 million to sell him. He has been one of the best young midfielders in the French league and has attracted the attention of a number of clubs with his talent and potential.
Bakwa is a rising star who has been impressing everyone with his class. The 22-year-old Strasbourg player can also play as a winger and is a left-footed dynamo with pace, flair, and finesse. His ability to explode past defenders in one-on-one duels is a standout trait, thanks to his quick acceleration and tight ball control. Bakwa is versatile too—he can cut inside to create or whip dangerous crosses from the flank. Fearless and direct, the 22-year-old is a raw talent with the potential to become a top-tier force.
How has he performed so far this season?
The player has scored 4 goals in 24 matches so far in the Ligue 1 2024/2025 season. 2 of the 4 goals were scored at home, while he scored 2 goals at away games. Overall, Bakwa’s goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.18. Moreover, the Strasbourg player’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 12 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.54 per 90 minutes, and his non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.26 (till April 9, 2025). It remains to be seen if Chelsea make a move for him.
