Chelsea are edging closer to bolstering their attacking ranks with the acquisition of Boca Juniors striker Jonathan Calleri, who could head to Stamford Bridge as soon as January.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, writing in his column for Calciomercato, a deal is close to being completed (via Jamie Sanderson of Metro).
While many Chelsea fans will be scratching their heads as to whom exactly they’re being linked with, Calleri perfectly fits their striker bill: young, fast, exciting and lethal.
The Argentinian has scored 10 goals in 26 league appearances so far this season, per WhoScored.
