Chelsea have now made an enquiry for Tottenham Hotspur target Harry Maguire. This is following the news that Wesley Fofana has sustained a cruciate ligament injury.
That is according to a report from 90min. It notes that the frenchman is set to miss the majority of the coming campaign after undergoing surgery.
Harry Maguire is attracting plenty of attention. That is despite an incredibly difficult time at Manchester United.
Chelsea can be the perfect fit for Harry Maguire
However, it seems that Mauricio Pochettino could look to beat Tottenham to his signature. 90min reports that Chelsea have now made their initial move for Maguire. This is after Fofana’s devastating injury blow.
The report suggests that some within the scouting department at Stamford Bridge believe in Maguire. They believe him to be one of the best options available on the market right now.
90min claims that West Ham and Newcastle are both admirers. That is of the England international. Meanwhile, The Sun recently suggested that Tottenham want Maguire.
Maguire has come in for a lot of criticism during his time at United. He has struggled to live up to the price tag. He didn’t live up to the expectations of being the world’s most expensive defender.
But it says a lot that several Premier League sides want to sign him this summer window. They obviously believe that he can rediscover the form. Which prompted Manchester United to sign him in the first place.
Journalist Dean Jones recently suggested that the ‘fantastic‘ Maguire could cost around £35 million.
It will be interesting to see whether Pochettino and Chelsea now act upon their interest. And whether that then prompts the likes of Tottenham and Newcastle to respond.
