Chelsea keen on Porto winger Jesus Corona

The Blues are on the hunt for a winger, and Jesus Corona is a player who is thought to be on their radar.

Reports in the British media claim Chelsea are keen on Porto winger Jesus Corona.

The 28-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

Porto spent 10.5 million euros to sign the Mexico international from Twente in the summer of 2015. The 28-year-old has a valid contract with Porto until June 2022.

The winger has banged in 3 goals and provided 11 assists in 40 matches this term on all fronts.

The 28-year-old is considered to be one of the best wingers in Mexico. As a member of Mexico national football team, Jesus Corona won 45 caps and he scored 8 goals.

The Mexico international has impressed in Liga NOS this season and is starting to attract the interest of bigger clubs.

Chelsea have earmarked Porto winger Corona as their target, with Thomas Tuchel being a ‘huge admirer’ of the player. They are desperate to make an impact in the summer transfer window.

The Mexico international would be a versatile addition for the Chelsea, having featured at winger, right midfield and in a right-back role. His versatile nature can help the manager to be more flexible with the formations.

Jesus Corona has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.

According to the report, “Chelsea are being encouraged to move quickly for Porto midfielder Jesus Corona. O Jogo says Chelsea are interested in the Mexico international ahead of the summer market. And it’s emerged Corona can be snapped up for a cut-price fee courtesy of a buyout clause in his deal. Rated at €40m, Corona can leave Porto this summer for €25m thanks to the option. But the clause will expire at the end of July. As such, if Chelsea are to snap up Corona, it’s expected they will make their move in the opening days of the summer market.”

If Chelsea are genuinely interested, a deal would not be impossible to complete.

Good signing for Chelsea?

If Corona is available for the right price, then he could be a clever acquisition for Chelsea.

The 28-year-old could be a good fit for Tuchel’s Chelsea.

Jesus Corona has all the skillset required to be a success story at Chelsea. Therefore, it makes sense for Tuchel to step up his attempts to bring the Mexico winger to Premier League side.

Chelsea fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club.

If Tuchel sees him as the right man for his side, Chelsea should quickly make a move to fend off interest from other clubs.
