Chelsea Makes Bayer Leverkusen Defender As Priority Signing Amidst Stiff Competition

Chelsea has reportedly entered the race for Bayer Leverkusen's defensive gem, Jeremie Frimpong, elevating him to a priority target for the upcoming 2024/25 season. However, securing the 22-year-old's signature won't be a walk in the park.

According to a report from depor., Liverpool is also expressing interest in Frimpong, while the prospect of Real Madrid, potentially under the management of Xabi Alonso, adds another layer of competition for the talented defender.

Despite Chelsea's pursuit, questions arise about the necessity of reinforcing the right-back position, given the formidable presence of Reece James in Mauricio Pochettino's squad. James showcased his prowess in the recent clash against Manchester City, underlining his status as one of the Premier League's premier full-backs by registering an impressive five tackles in the first half alone—just one shy of the entire City team's collective effort.

As the race for Frimpong's services intensifies, Chelsea faces competition from prominent clubs, making the pursuit of this defensive talent a notable subplot in the unfolding transfer saga.
