Chelsea are interested in signing Nottingham Forest midfielder James McAtee in the coming months.
The England Under-21 captain has had a very good run in the Premier League, having featured prominently for the likes of Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. However, the 23-year-old has yet to start regularly for a Premier League club. McAtee has started just one game in the league this season.
Is James McAtee preparing to move on?
Naturally, there has been a lot of speculation about his future. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Chelsea and Leeds United are ready to sign the player. Nottingham Forest paid £30m to sign the player from Manchester City, but it will be interesting to see whether they intend to allow him to leave in the near future.
He is a talented and promising player and keeping him at the club would be a wise decision. Although he is not at his best yet, he is a very good player who can play multiple roles. He could be a valuable asset to the club.
McAtee would be a great deal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Leeds United need more quality in their final third. The 23-year-old can play not only on the wings but also in the center. He will add technical ability and vision to the side. He will create more chances for his teammates and will also help find the back of the goal.
The opportunity to join Chelsea would be a very exciting one for the player. It will be a big step up for him and he will try to prove that he is at the highest level.
Chelsea are aiming to build a team that can compete for big trophies and need more quality and depth in their squad.
Signing a £30m midfielder could be a great investment for them. Meanwhile, Leeds are fighting for survival and need better players to stay in the Premier League. He could be a great acquisition.
