Chelsea are rumored to be making a surprise move for Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The English full-back joined Real Madrid as a free agent at the start of the season, but his performances have not been up to par. The player has been criticized for his inconsistent performances and Chelsea are looking to bring him back to the Premier League.
Liam Rosenior has been appointed as the club’s new manager and is looking to improve the right-back position. The newly appointed Chelsea manager has named the former Liverpool star as his ideal target.
Chelsea currently hope to sign the defender on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. According to the newspaper, Real Madrid are not convinced about letting the player go on loan. According to Fichajes, they are willing to sell him on a permanent transfer for a fee of over 40 million euros. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are prepared to pay for him.
The 26-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League and is arguably one of the best right-backs to have ever played in English football. He hasn’t been at his best at Real Madrid, but could bounce back strongly if he returns to the Premier League. Returning to your comfort zone may help you regain your tone and confidence.
Chelsea could use more creativity within their squad and Alexander-Arnold would be an exceptional addition in that regard. He is good at creating chances with deep passes. He excels at breaking through the lines with long, accurate passes. He could add a new dimension to Chelsea’s attack. He is also very effective with crosses and set pieces.
