As per the reports from De Telegraaf, Chelsea are in a three way battle to sign the highly rated Ajax winger Anwar El Ghazi. The 20-year old player is getting rave reviews from the Dutch football and has attracted the attentions of Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.
El Ghazi has been awarded with Ajax talent of the season award for 2014-15 season. El Ghazi was the first player to score at Camp Nou in 2014-15 season after the Catalan side had not conceeded a single goal since the start of 2014-15 season. El ghazi has made his debut for Ajax this season itself.
Chelsea have expressed genuine interest in the player and are set to send their scouts to see El Ghazi play in the prestigious Toulon tournament later this year. It is believed that Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are looking at El Ghazi to provide the solution to their problems on the wings.
After winning the League title, Chelsea have begun the process of adding to their squad strength as the Blues signed the talented Brazilian Nathan for a reported fee of £4.5million and now Jose Mourinho has identified Anwar El Ghazi as the key potential summer signing.
Ajax, themselves are not sure about the true potential of the player and are waiting to see more from him before deciding on whether to sell him or pursue him to continue playing at the Amsterdam stadium.
El Ghazi will indeed be one of the most discussed transfer stories of the season with Chelsea ready to fend off Bayern Munich in order to sign the highly rated Dutch winger Anwar El Ghazi.
