Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea have been linked with Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier in the summer transfer window.
According to The Times, Chelsea are interested in Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
The report has claimed that the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners have monitored the £30,000-a-week (Spotrac) French goalkeeper.
Chelsea are also interested in Brentford goalkeeper David Raya as well as Inter Milan star Andre Onana, according to the report.
Could Chelsea sign Illan Meslier from Leeds United?
In our view, if Chelsea make an offer to Leeds United, then they would be able to convince the Whites to sell them Illan Meslier.
However, the Blues would have to work hard to get the French goalkeeper to move to Stamford Bridge.
In an interview with FootMercato this week, Meslier said that he is open to leaving Leeds after the Whites got relegated to the Championship.
The 23-year-old said that there is uncertainty at Leeds, and that he could leave this summer.
However, Meslier added in the same interview that while he would be open to a move to Chelsea, he would not just go there to be a substitute goalkeeper.
The Frenchman is a regular at Leeds, or at least was until Sam Allardyce came in as the manager for the final four Premier League games of the season, and it would be a step back in his career if he became a second-choice goalkeeper at another club, even at Chelsea.
