Chelsea solidly in the chase for Premier League striker

Chelsea are supposedly in a solid position to sign Sergio Aguero when he leaves Manchester City toward the end of the campaign.

The 32-year-old has been connected with various clubs since it was announced a month ago that he is to leave City in the summer.

Barcelona are accepted to be the favourites to sign the Argentina international on a free transfer, but Mundo Deportivo proposes that the Catalans face firm competition from Chelsea.

It is guaranteed that Chelsea have effectively contacted Aguero, and the ex-Atletico Madrid star has shown that he is set to stay in the Premier League.

Aguero’s official choice is anticipated to boil down to how much playing time he can be ensured next season, having battled to hold down a spot in Pep Guardiola’s favoured setup since getting back from injury.

Chelsea are also thought to weigh up a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Braut Haaland.
