Chelsea are keeping a close eye on Espanyol striker Roberto Fernandez. The club could be looking to complete a deal in the upcoming January transfer window.
The 24-year-old Spanish forward has had a sensational start to the season, netting 6 goals in his first 7 La Liga appearances. His outstanding form has caught the attention of several clubs across England and Italy. Reports suggest that his release clause is set at 25 million euros.
Fernandez is known for his robust physique, excellent aerial ability in the box, and he is currently showcasing remarkable finishing skills. He is under contract with the Spanish club until June 2031.
At present, Chelsea's attacking duties are being managed by Joao Pedro. Now, the club's hierarchy must decide whether to pursue a deal for Fernandez in the winter window or to continue placing their trust in Joao Pedro as their main striker.
