Chelsea are set to make a significant move in the January transfer window as Copenhagen star Roony Bardghji signals his readiness for a potential switch to Stamford Bridge.
The 18-year-old forward, regarded as one of Europe’s brightest prospects, has emerged as a target for the Blues amid their recent struggles, while Barcelona also shows interest in the Swedish sensation.
Bardghji’s breakthrough moment came earlier this season when he scored against Manchester United in the Champions League.
The youngster has now expressed his eagerness to take on a new challenge, stating that he feels prepared for a move to a top club this month.
In an interview with Ekstrabladet, Bardghji mentioned. “I feel ready, but when it will be, whether it is now or later, I don’t know. Right now, I’m focusing on getting in top shape and playing football. Then we have to see what happens.”
a temporary no9 solution for Chelsea
Chelsea’s need for reinforcements has become more apparent, particularly after their recent 1-0 defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough.
Despite a substantial investment in the transfer market over the past few windows, the Blues seem to lack the star quality and creativity in the final third that Mauricio Pochettino desires.
The versatile Bardghji operates primarily on the right wing but has also demonstrated his ability to play as a striker.
His potential arrival could provide a much-needed boost to Chelsea’s attacking options, offering a solution to their recent goal-scoring struggles.
However, Barcelona remains a contender for Bardghji’s signature, adding an element of competition for Chelsea.
When asked about the interest from both clubs, the young forward revealed.“It’s always great to hear about something like this because it means you’re doing well. But I try not to think about it too much. It is special, but it’s not something that stresses me out. I just take the positive in it and see it as motivation. This means I have to continue as I am doing and, of course, try to do it even better.”
As Pochettino faces increasing pressure, Bardghji could emerge as the saving grace with his skill set and adaptability.
His potential arrival might provide a temporary solution up front until Chelsea can secure a marquee No.9, possibly in the form of Victor Osimhen, during the summer transfer window.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Bardghji becomes a Chelsea player and adds a fresh dimension to their attacking prowess.
