Chelsea lining up summer move for Croatian midfielder Vukovic

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Maritimo midfielder Josip Vukovic. 

The 26-year-old has something of a journeyman career, and has played for four clubs since the start of 2017. 

However, it seems as though his performances in Portugal’s Primeira Liga have caught the eyes of recruitment teams from across the continent, with TalkSPORT claiming that three Premier League clubs are interested in acquiring the central midfielder. 

Wolves and Leicester City are also tipped with priming moves for the Split-native, who is a ball-winning CDM.

Chelsea can already boast a number of strong options to sit in front of the defence, including Jorginho, N’Golo Kante (depending on who you ask…), and Danny Drinkwater. 

However, Maurizio Sarri is still in the process of trying to create a squad in his image, and the addition of Vukovic could go some way to achieving that goal.
