Blues want to sign Lokomotiv Moscow striker

Chelsea are ‘really interested’ in signing Lokomotiv Moscow striker Oumar Niasse, according to reports.

The 25-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League last season, with Chelsea and London-rivals Tottenham Hotspur said to be interested, and according to reports, the Blues are set to renew their interest.

Niasse is also wanted in Turkey by Super Lig giants Galatasaray, and according to reports, Lokomotiv are willing to sell the striker for a small fee believed to be around £4.4million.

Since moving to Lokomotiv back in 2014, the striker has made 28 league appearances for the Russian outfit, scoring 12 goals, and his goal-scoring record has caught the eyes of the Premier League champions.

‘Really Interested’

According to Italian journalist, Matteo Pedrosi, the English side are ‘really interested’ in signing the striker in order to add depth to their attacking department.

“Chelsea are really interested in signing Lokomotiv Moscow striker Oumar Niasse.” he tweeted.

Guus Hiddink currently only has Diego Costa, Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao to choose from up front, but with Remy wanting out and Falcao still injured, his options could be limited further next month.
