Chelsea are scouting the talented young attacker from Athletic Bilbao, Gorka Guruzeta, with the view of singing the 21-year-old in the near future, according to reports.
Chelsea have been looking for new signings capable of playing as a center forward as they seem to be under strength in the said position.
The only first team strikers currently available at Chelsea are Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi and with no other full-time options to cover the duo, it is believed that the Premier League champions are currently looking for a new forward to make up the numbers.
One of the players at the top of manager Antonio Conte’s shortlist is believed to be Gorka Guruzeta, who is currently playing in the La Liga with Athletic Bilbao.
Guruzeta’s current deal with Athletic expires at the end of the current campaign and Chelsea have the opportunity to use the contract issues to lure the forward to Stamford Bridge in the near future.
Guruzeta looks like an ideal fit for Chelsea as most of the West London side’s best forwards have been the big, powerful and physically dominating types rather than those relying solely on pace and technical ability.
