REPORT: Chelsea Join Race For £20m Rated Ligue One Ace And ‘Will Watch Him Next Weekend’

Chelsea have entered the battle for Amiens forward Serhou Guirassy, according to the Sun. The newspaper claims that the Blues are keen on the 23-year-old and “will watch him next weekend” when his team face Marseille.

The striker has been impressive in Ligue One this campaign, scoring eight goals in 22 appearances despite Amiens sitting second from bottom in the table.

Guirassy’s form has also attracted the interest of a number of other Premier League clubs with West Ham, Tottenham and Brighton having taken a look at the Frenchman.

The Hammers, in particular, were said to be favourites to land the forward in a £20m deal, but doubts over their top-flight status may prevent the London club from sealing the transfer.

Spurs and Brighton, meanwhile, both had scouts in attendance when Guirassy scored a brace against Paris Saint-Germain in a 4-4 draw last month, but they have yet to step up their interest in the player.
