"Chelsea are reportedly eyeing up Athletic Bilbao forward Maroan Sannadi as one of their next transfer targets. The Morocco international doesn't have a particularly impressive scoring record, but it seems the Blues are still admirers of his all-round qualities. That's according to a report from Fichajes, which states that Chelsea are keeping an eye on Sannadi, who is viewed by both the Blues and Athletic as someone who could be about to take his game to another level."
"The west London giants have adopted a strategy of signing the world's best young players, which often means gambling on talents who haven't yet shown their full potential. However, Sannadi is 24 years of age and if he was going to develop into a world class forward, we'd surely be seeing it by now. Do Chelsea need more experience anyway?"
Chelsea are pursuing Athletic Bilbao forward Maroan Sannadi, a 24-year-old Morocco international admired for his all-round qualities despite scoring just one goal in all competitions last season. Most of his stronger performances came in Spain's second division with Deportivo Alaves' B team. The club's pattern of signing highly rated young prospects can involve gambling on unrealised potential, while Sannadi's age and scoring record make his rise into an elite forward uncertain. The team also faces questions about squad composition and experience after a 3-1 Champions League loss to Bayern, highlighting a possible need for more proven, experienced recruits.
