Chelsea could complete ‘perfect’ Paulo Dybala signing after source’s ‘world-class’ reveal – pundit
Paulo Dybala could be the “perfect” partner for Kai Havertz as Chelsea search for a “world-class” striker this summer, according to Kevin Campbell.
The former Arsenal hitman, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed a Blues move for the 28-year-old could be a “brilliant signing”.
A recruitment source told this site today (2 April) that Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has sanctioned the sales of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner this summer as he targets a “world-class” striker.
According to 90min (29 March), the Blues intend to join the chase for Juventus star Dybala once their takeover has been resolved.
The Argentina international is out of contract at the end of the season.
Juventus CEO Maurizio Arrivabene confirmed last month (March 21) that Dybala will depart Turin in June.
Campbell suggested the link-up between the former Palermo man and Chelsea star Havertz could be a tantalising prospect for Blues fans.
“He’s a different player to Kai Havertz,” he told Football Insider‘s Ewan Kingsbury.
“Havertz has played as an out-and-out number nine this season, and Dybala could complement him perfectly by just playing off him.
“He’s quick-thinking, clinical, and he’s so effective in between the lines.
“Obviously Chelsea will be aware of his injury record, but he could be a brilliant signing if he can hit the ground running in the Premier League. It’s definitely a good bit of business on a free transfer.”
As per Transfermarkt, Dybala has missed 36 games through injury across the last two seasons.
He has managed 113 goals in 283 games since joining the Old Lady in 2015.
