Chelsea are interested in signing Guerra Due from RC Strasbourg.
According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are also interested in the 23-year-old full-back. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can get a deal done. They are owned by the same parent company as Strasbourg, which could definitely give them an advantage in the transfer race.
Chelsea focus on Guerra Due
Pete O’Rourke said: “I’m sure it’s not just Aston Villa that he has his eyes on.
“Douet has had a very good time in Strasbourg. He impressed again last weekend (October 17) against European champions PSG and has now established himself as one of the most promising young full-backs in Ligue 1.”
“Chelsea are also interested in him, Brighton are also interested and they have their eyes on him too.”
“Look, a lot of clubs are going to be keeping an eye on Douai’s progress in Strasbourg.”
The French team may prefer to sell the player to Chelsea rather than Aston Villa. The Blues also have the resources to get a deal done.
Doe could be successful in England
The 23-year-old has performed very well in France and has the technical qualities to succeed in the Premier League. He could be a great addition to Chelsea. They need to add more quality and depth through their defensive unit and Doue would be a great long-term acquisition.
Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to join them would be very attractive for the player. It will be a step up for him and an opportunity to test himself against world-class players in England. It may help him develop further and reach his potential.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are in need of a quality long-term replacement for Matty Cash. It remains to be seen whether they can win the race for the 23-year-old. If they can get a deal done, he would be a great addition. But convincing Strasbourg and the players could prove difficult.
