Chelsea To Open Talks With Alaba

Chelsea have set plans in motion to bring versatile Bayern Munich Defender, David Alaba to Stamford Bridge

The Bayern Munich defender is out of contract next summer.

According to Bild, the Bayern Munich defender is to start talks with Chelsea in January.

Alaba is out of contract next summer and can speak to clubs outside of Germany from January 1 onwards to agree a free transfer.

Eko Hot Blog gathered that PSG are also set for talks.

Chelsea had embarked on a shopping spree last time out, bringing high profile names like Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz to Stamford Bridge.

In the defensive department, veteran Brazilian, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell were also brought in to revamp the squad.

So far, all of Frank Lampard’s new signings have impressed. Defensively, beyond the heroics of new goalie, Eduoard Mendy, the experience of Silva and Kurt Zouma’s energy has proven a fine partnership.

But Frank Lampard may not necessarily pin his futuristic plan on the 36 year old Brazilian. Alaba, whose utility value spans from defensive to midfield roles, could be the final piece of the puzzle as the Englishman looks to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League Crown.
