Chelsea consider talks with Freiburg over Luca Waldschmidt transfer

Chelsea are reportedly considering to start discussions with the Bundesliga outfit Freiburg over a deal to sign Luca Waldschmidt, according to The Sun.

The Blues have placed emphasis on signing the 23-year-old forward in this summer’s transfer window.

The west Londoners are confident that the German international can physically develop into a powerful striker suited to the English top-flight.

The report adds that Chelsea were credited with an interest in the Freiburg forward during the January transfer window but were unable to get a deal over the line.

Waldschmidt, whose contract expires in 2022 – has scored five goals in 15 Bundesliga appearances this season.
