Add as preferred source on Google<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nNorway winger Andreas Schjelderup<\/strong> is on Chelsea\u2019s radar, The Chelsea Chronicle has been told.<\/strong><\/p>\n It was Schjelderup who scored for Norway in their 2-1 defeat to England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and it now looks like supporters of the Three Lions could get to see more of him in the Premier League next season.<\/p>\n Chelsea are also interested in Jonathan Rowe in their search for a new left winger, but Schjelderup is also an option for them.<\/p>\n With Alejandro Garnacho set to leave Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are in the market for an attacker who can play on the left.<\/p>\n Schjelderup only has two years remaining on his contract at Benfica, and that has put Chelsea and other Premier League clubs on high alert.<\/p>\n Transfer insider Ekrem Konur told The Chelsea Chronicle<\/strong>: \u201cBenfica\u2019s young talent Andreas Schjelderup is seriously considering leaving the club this summer, despite having two years left on his current contract. While the Portuguese club have offered him a new deal, the Norwegian attacker has yet to respond due to his long-standing desire to play in the Premier League.<\/p>\n \u201cThis situation has put top English clubs on high alert. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham are all closely monitoring his development and situation.<\/p>\n \u201cSources close to Chelsea indicate that the London club could look into the player\u2019s situation, but they will not rush into a \u20ac40 million move. Benfica, on the other hand, are absolutely unwilling to sell Schjelderup for anything less than \u20ac40 million. Furthermore, the player\u2019s contract includes a \u20ac100 million release clause, which significantly limits the bargaining power of interested clubs.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Schjelderup\u2019s future at Benfica highly uncertain, his ambition to move to England is set to become a major talking point of the summer window. Between Benfica\u2019s firm financial expectations and the player\u2019s career plans, any club wanting to finalise this deal will need to make a significant investment.\u201d<\/p>\n Under Jose Mourinho, Schjelderup helped Benfica to finish third in the Portuguese league last season.<\/p>\n In total, the 22-year-old scored seven goals and provided six assists in 28 games. It is not a bad return for someone his age.<\/p>\n At the World Cup, Schjelderup has also been able to make an impact while representing Norway.<\/p>\n As well as scoring against England, Schjelderup also set up three goals before Norway\u2019s elimination. <\/p>\n All in all, it was a very productive World Cup for Schjelderup, who finishes the tournament with four goal contributions in six outings.<\/p>\n It is no surprise that Premier League clubs are now looking at the Benfica man, who only made two starts for Norway.<\/p>\n Chelsea fans would perhaps still prefer someone who is a bit more proven and experienced. For example, AC Milan\u2019s Rafael Leao, with the Portugal international also being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n It has been reported that Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Leao in this transfer window.<\/p>\n However, Schjelderup is probably a better fit for Chelsea\u2019s model, whether supporters agree with that model or not.<\/p>\nChelsea could look into moving for Andreas Schjelderup<\/h2>\n
Sorry, but there are WORSE players than Alejandro Garnacho at Chelsea who aren\u2019t being pushed out of the club<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
