Victor Lindelof

[It's too big 625]

Apparently we are willing to pay his buy out clause. He is a centre back from Benfica.

You didn't put the correct link this https://www.noticiasaominuto.com/desporto/625518/chelsea-preparado-para-bater-clausula-de-rescisao-de-lindelof and i have a friend who is Benfica fan i will ask him.

[Chelsea4 1,521]

My friend told me this:"Victor Lindelof is 22 year old Sweedish international CB but can also play as a RB he had really good season.His strenght besides good defending is that he can also start attacks because he is fast and his passing for a CB is amazing.I would ask for more money considering the current market but we are not a club that can reject a 30m bid if you sign him then you're gonna get a great player but i hope he stays we need him"

Oops. apologies for that. Only link I could find on him, and it happened to be in portugese lol.

Bag this as fast as you can. Would be a good addition and with Christensen coming back, we'll be set for years.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Didn't know owt about him till our very recent links.

Seems like a pretty good CB/RB/CDM. Looks like there was interest from the Mancs and now some sort of tug o war between RM/ and Barca.

Only thing I dont like about him is he looks a bit like Skrtel but I'd have him over Bane in a heartbeat.

 

[King11Didier 916]

Sign him up! Would prefer him over every other CB if we really can't sign Koulibaly. Hope we can finalise this transfer before some other clubs come and take him.

Very good prospect but I don't think he's ready for a top PL side yet.Should stay at Benfica for atleast one more season imo.

What's his best position?

[Pizy 18,415]

Is this supposed to be in addition to a top CB signing or instead of one? If it's the latter I'd be extremely disappointed. We need essentially a "can't miss" signing at CB not a project or someone that may or may not be ready for the top level like this guy.

We need someone who is a clear upgrade on what we have.

[Dazzy_Vance 454]

^^ spot on

[RuudiGullit 112]

If this is going to be our "top" central defender signing....that would be an absolute joke. 

We need a beast like Koulibaly or someone like Mustafi. Not this Swedish kid. 

[chrismada9 1,948]

Please excuse me for sounding like a complete idiot but...

 

LINDELOF IS A SWEEEEDE!! OMG if this fucking happens.....

 

On a serious note, it's mature to point out he's not the best option out there.. would rather get Bonucci.

But Victor is SWEDISH, THAT'S OK WITH ME!!!

[Chelsea4 1,521]

He looks good but is inexperinced and young he has still has to learn alot and that's at the moment not what we need, we need someone who is gonna improve our back 4 immediately if Conte things the fee for Koulibaly is too mcuh then we should sign Mustafi who is a great player.

[empire of emotions 247]

never heard of him, whats happening

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

Have no idea why would we be linked with him when at the club we have the likes of JCS, Tomori, Christensen and Zouma. Young, potentially world class defenders are not our problem. Please get one of Mustafi or Koulibaly.
Have no idea if we could use him as FB, but even there, please do get someone already good enough to start. We've already seen what happened with Baba.

@CalcioChelsea started playing RB for Sweden, plays CB, very young, arguably the best defender in Portugal. Nicknamed Iceman, he's brutal.

[RuudiGullit 112]

Meanwhile while Emenalo is dealing with this kid, Everton are almost done signing up a better defender: Koulibaly.
