Chelsea are seriously interested in Fenerbahce’s Danish central defender Simon Kjaer, according to HurriyetSpor.
Kjaer has been linked to several clubs recently, and it’s claimed Chelsea are prepared to offer €20million to beat the competition.
Fenerbahce’s star defender, Kjaer has impressed enough this season and last to make his €7.5m move from Lille look like something of a bargain.
Calm and composed on the ball and with a great ability to read the game, Kjaer may want to test himself at a higher level than the Turkish Super League. Having played in Serie A and the Bundesliga, Kjaer may well like to add the Premier League to his list.
Forming a partnership with Martin Skrtel, Kjaer’s defensive form is even better this season than it was last, and he’s also scored 3 goals in 12 games so far.
An offer of €20m would represent a good profit for Fener, but they would surely be loathe to use Kjaer halfway through the season.
