By Matt Law, Football Editor | 1m https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/transfer-talk/news/chelsea-join-the-race-for-dayot-upamecano_403654.html Chelsea are reportedly considering launching a move for RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano. The 21-year-old's existing deal with his German club is due to expire next summer, and it is understood that he can be signed for a fee in the region of £53m before the end of June. A recent report claimed that Arsenal had beaten Manchester United to the signature of the France Under-21 international, who has made 27 Bundesliga appearances during the 2019-20 campaign. However, according to The Athletic, the defender's future is still up in the air, and Chelsea could attempt to bring him to Stamford Bridge ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. Frank Lampard's side, who are back in league action against the champions Manchester City on Thursday, have already agreed a deal with Leipzig to sign German forward Timo Werner this summer. Versatile attacker Hakim Ziyech will also arrive at the club in the coming weeks as the Blues attempt to put together a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title next season. snip What's he like? I've only watched him a handful of times. He was fantastic one game and extremely rash the other times. Is he decent? Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want him, at least not at the crazy money I am hearing quoted I think he is overrated to a point I am sure I will get lit up but I am really hellbent on on an actual WC CB Atomiswave and ulsterchelsea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,393 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Think Lampard truely wants to play in a Leipzig system which is 4-2-2-2 with Havertz, Ziyech as Attacking mids and Werner and Abraham up top. Again, depending on the game with the versatility we have,shift to 4-3-3,4-2-3-1,4-1-2-1-2 or even 3 at the back. But yeah .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still raw and does mistakes once in a whike, but not every game like Rüdiger, AC and Tomori are doing. Also technically more comfortable and confident with the ball than Zouma. I am pretty sure Zouma and Upamecano could be a good and solid defense, especially for next season. I can't take AC and Rüdiger combo for much longer long. I still do not know how AC got back into the team. Complete mistery for me. I have heard people in Germany say last year that Upamecano may be the best U21 defender in the world Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk ulsterchelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technique wise Rüdiger is no David Luiz either. Overall better passer yes, but nothing like a ball playing defender should be. When you look at stats, Rüdiger seems to be a slightly better tackler, but Zouma makes more interceptions and clearancesZouma and Upamecano can at least defend Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL No one is saying we aren't interested but being interested and actually making a move and bidding for the player are two completely different things.

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Wait, this is very familiar. Didn't this happen with Ziyech back in January? Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that Ziyech deal not happen out of the blue? I remember Lampard saying generic stuff about other transfer rumors back then - like now - and nothing happened then but I don't recall anything on Ziyech. Could be wrong.
