Chelsea leading the race for Feyenoord forward Santiago Gimenez

Chelsea may be in a prime position to secure the services of Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez at a rather economical fee of approximately £39 million. The 22-year-old forward has been under the watchful eye of the Blues for quite some time now, as they actively seek to bolster their attacking options.

Hailing from the Eredivisie, Gimenez has managed to find the back of the net on 15 occasions while contributing 3 assists during the current season.

Remarkably, his current market valuation, as per the data provided by Transfermakt.com, stands at a slightly lower figure of £34.7 million.

Gimenez’s international experience further enhances his appeal. He has represented Mexico in 22 international matches, scoring 4 goals in the process. This impressive track record has made him a standout prospect for Chelsea’s consideration.

The Mexican frontman presents a financially sound alternative for Chelsea, especially when compared to their interest in pricier options like the £65 million-rated Ivan Toney and Europe’s most highly sought-after striker, Victor Osimhen.

According to the well-regarded transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the proposed sum of £39 million could prove to be a sufficient amount to successfully secure Gimenez’s services.

This prospective transfer would not only augment Chelsea’s attacking prowess but also demonstrate their commitment to acquiring top-tier talent without breaking the bank.
