Chelsea informed they can sign 15-goal star for just £86Million this summer

CHELSEA have learned the price it would take to sign Rasmus Hojlund this summer.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino knows that he is joining a club that struggled to score goals last season and were one of the lowest in the top-flight.

That has led to many reports in the media that some of the games top strikers could be heading to the club – especially as Pochettino has reportedly told Ted Boehly that he wants a top named signed.

Hojlund has been attracting interest from clubs all over Europe with the 20-year-old impressing with his performances in Serie A.

Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked to the Dane but Atalanta are not keen to sell, but would be open to letting him leave if the right money was offered.

The Daily Mirror report that Chelsea would need to pay £43m to land Danish international Hojlund, who has netted 15 goals in a breakout season in Serie A and earned favourable comparisons to a certain Erling Haaland.

However – Mail Sport understands the Italian club held a meeting earlier this week when it was decided they would demand closer to £86million (100m euro) for the 20-year-old

He has reportedly made his thoughts on leaving the club clear through his agents SEG, and the reports claim this news may lead to Chelsea swooping in to try and bring the striker to the Premier League this summer

Look, Hojlund has had a brilliant season and he is going to be a top striker, But Chelsea need a man that can score goals NOW – not in 3 or 4 years time.

The board wants trophies – Pochettino has come in to win and he will want a forward signed that has played at the top level for season  -scored goals for fun and of course can play his kind of football.

If Hojlund does leave Atalanta – we are certain it will not be for a move to CHELSEA – he is not ready.
