Unable to break into Barcelona’s front-line as a result of the terrific trio that only the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo could dislodge, this has too tempted Chelsea to make a move for the versatile forward. Although the Red Devils could use an out-and-out striker in the strangely less preferred Edinson Cavani or steal of a signing that could be Robert Lewandowski, the player-in-questions ability to spearhead the attack on the right or in the middle could prove an asset.
It would be no surprise to see the Premier League outfit give him options as they look to add high profile individuals to their squad, sparing no expense as they go.
