19 goals in 13 games: Chelsea plot £30m transfer, player wants move
Chelsea are willing to pay £30m for Shakhtar Donetsk attacking midfielder Alex Teixeira.According to reports from Tuttomercatoweb, Shakhtar would not sell the midfielder for less than £30m. Chelsea are prepared to pay that amount.
The 25-year-old has been in sensational form this season, having scored 19 goals in just 13 appearances in the Ukrainian Premier League.
He has emerged as one of Chelsea’s prime target in their next transfer window, as Jose Mourinho is looking to add one or two new faces into his misfiring forward line.
Teixeira has two years remaining on his contract with Shakhtar, therefore the defending Champions will have to pay a high price to secure his services.
