Chelsea Enters Race for Corinthians' Youngster Wesley
Chelsea has joined the pursuit of Corinthians' 19-year-old winger Wesley, according to Foot Mercato. The Blues have reportedly submitted a bid for the talented youngster, alongside West Ham United, who had their offer rejected earlier.
However, Chelsea faces competition from Ligue 1 clubs, including Nice, who are also vying for Wesley's signature. Moreover, the winger is said to prefer a move to a league other than the Premier League, seeking a gradual transition to European football.
This development may pose a challenge for Chelsea, having previously lost out on Pedro Lima to Wolverhampton Wanderers due to promises of more playing time. To convince Wesley, a loan deal to Strasbourg, accompanied by a solid development plan, could be a viable option for the Blues.
As the transfer saga unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can secure the signing of this promising young talent.
