Chelsea is one of the clubs seeking reinforcements as they prepare to push for a Top 4 spot. After a sub-par first half of the season, Graham Potter became the Blues’ boss in September. Potter will be looking for players in fit all parts of the pitch, but a particular concern for the Blues is their midfield.
With N’Golo Kante injured, the Blues’ midfield has struggled lately with poor performances. Reports from Italian reporter Alfredo Pedulla say that Chelsea has an interest in AC Milan’s Ismael Bennacer.
The 25-year-old’s contract ends in 2024. While there have been talks, it remains unlikely that he will be penning a contract anytime soon.
What kind of player is Ismael Bennacer
Ismael Bennacer primarily plays as a defensive midfielder. However, his versatility allows him to play in attacking midfield, central midfield, and a holding role as well. Bennacer has been noted for his speed, intelligence, and vision.
Bennacer is one of the most wanted men in European football. Apart from Chelsea, the Algerian also has links with a return to his former youth club Arsenal. Arsenal is eager to strengthen their squad, with some reports suggesting a swap deal involving Thomas Partey. Liverpool are also reportedly interested in Bennacer as an alternative to Jude Bellingham. Manchester United have also allegedly made contact regarding the Algerian’s situation.
