Chelsea continue to search for a centre-forward to provide competition for Nicolas Jackson, and the attention of the Blues has turned towards a player who is considered to be the “most popular” in the Premier League.

One former Premier League player turned pundit has said that a current Chelsea player would be top of the Premier League’s most improved player list. There actually isn’t a list, but perhaps this pundit should make one.

Brentford, Everton and Fulham complete the fixture schedule for Chelsea as Crystal Palace awaits on January 4th 2025, which offers Maresca and the Blues a golden chance to cement their place in the top four.

Chelsea would be willing to offer 60 million euros for Bryan Mbeumo, motivated by the outstanding season the forward is having. With his impressive performance at Brentford, scoring goals and being crucial in the attack, Chelsea wants to seize the opportunity to secure Mbeumo's signing in the upcoming transfer market.

Although Chelsea are seven places ahead of London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table just three points separate them, and both clubs will rival the other for the signature of a talented Premier League centre-back.
