Chelsea are favourites to sign this Dortmund striker

Chelsea have been linked with moves for different strikers ahead of the winter transfer window in January.

However, a report via Sky Germany journalist Marc Behrenbeck claimed that Chelsea are considered the favourites to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Youssoufa Moukoko.

Chelsea have been strongly linked with a move to sign the teenager, who wants to be a free agent next summer as there are speculations he doesn’t want to extend his contract with the German club.

Moukoko made an appearance for Germany in the recent world cup in Qatar as he became the youngest player to play for his home country in the World Cup.

According to Behrenbeck, Chelsea will beat their rivals to sign the German star.

He said: “It is clear that a lot of top clubs are asking about Moukoko and are keen on him as he is available on a free transfer in the summer and is a bargain.

“We hear that Chelsea are the closest. There have already been negotiations and talks. More clubs Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona and Newcastle are on the list, but Chelsea is the hottest, the others aren’t ready yet,”
