Chelsea keen on Luca Waldschmidt

Chelsea are interested in signing the German forward Luca Waldschmidt.

As per the Sun, the Blues are set to open talks to sign the Freiburg player in the coming weeks.

The 23-year-old striker is highly rated in Germany and he has been dubbed as ‘Il Bomber’, similar to the nickname given to German legend Gerd Muller.

Chelsea are expected to lose Batshuayi and Giroud this summer and they will need to invest in a new striker. Someone like Waldschmidt could be a great long-term acquisition.

The youngster has tremendous potential and Lampard could develop him into a star.
