Chelsea poised to land Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez

Mauricio Pochettino has set his sights on securing a new striker as his primary objective in the upcoming year. The club is actively exploring options, and one prominent name in the mix is Feyenoord’s prolific striker, Santiago Gimenez.

The Mexican international has been in stellar form, impressively notching up 15 goals in 15 games across various competitions for the Dutch giants.

Despite his outstanding performance, Gimenez is tied to Feyenoord until 2027, placing the club in a strong negotiating position.

Transfermarkt.com currently values the striker at €40 million, underlining his significant market worth.

With a track record of 23 appearances for Mexico, where he found the net four times, Gimenez brings both talent and experience to the table.

Feyenoord’s advantageous position allows them to command a substantial fee for Gimenez’s services. Reports suggest that a fee in the region of €40 million is the starting point, with potential additional clauses to be negotiated.
