milka 3,393 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Sporting Gijon defender Jorge Mere has emerged as a surprise target for Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window. According to the football transfer rumours in Spanish Media, Chelsea are linked with Sporting Gijon defender Jorge Mere. The Spain international has joined Sporting Gijon from Sporting Gijon B in 2015. The 19 year-old has a valid contract with Sporting Gijon until June 2020. Jorge Mere has played 56 games for Sporting Gijon in all competitions. The 19-year-old is considered to be one of the most talented defenders in Spain. Jorge Mere has represented Spain at Under-17, Under-18, Under-19 and Under-21 level, winning 37 caps and scoring two goals. The Spain international is a player who has impressed many European clubs in the last two seasons, and it is understood that Chelsea manager Antonio Conte would prefer playing him as a central-defender. Mere would be perfect competition for David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If we are going to go after anybody from Spain, who plays center back. Please make it Laporte... left footed, very good for his age and also has a lot of room to grow. Not that I'm saying Jorge Mere isn't a decent prospect because he is, but I think Laporte would be an excellent signing for the left center back role. Or Romagnoli.
