Melvin Koliqi admits his desire to complete Chelsea transfer

IFK Göteborg midfielder Melvin Koliqi has revealed his desire to play Chelsea in an interview with Alingsås Tidning via SportWitness.

The 17-year-old midfielder is part of the Swedish club's academy and is highly rated in Europe, with Chelsea among a host of top clubs reportedly showing interest.

The Blues appear to have an advantage in the race, as Koliqi has now confirmed that his “dream” is to play for Chelsea, having been a fan of the club since childhood.

Koliqi said:

“I dream of playing in the first division With Chelsea, it is my favorite team,” he said.

Koliqi has a bright future ahead of him and could prove a useful long-term option for Chelsea if he ends up joining them. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are encouraged by his comments and decide to make a move for him at the end of the season.

The Blues have made a habit of recruiting top talent from around the world and have placed particular emphasis on improving the pool of young talent within the club.

Koliqi would be an investment in the future for them and his passion to succeed at the club will be an added incentive.

Big fan

Chelsea have spent a substantial amount of money since their acquisition on established stars. They will have to bring in talented young players who can also become future first team players. They cannot afford to spend recklessly if they want to comply with financial fair play regulations. Therefore, signing talented young players like Koliqi for a reasonable amount of money would be the sustainable way to grow and improve.

The midfielder is clearly a Chelsea fan and will be determined to secure a move to Stamford Bridge if the opportunity presents itself. It remains to be seen how the situation evolves in the coming months.

Chelsea have a proven track record when it comes to developing talented young players and could help the 17-year-old fulfill his tremendous potential. The Blues have done well to bring in players like Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, James Reeceand Mason Mount through their academy in recent years.

Koliqi will seek to follow in his footsteps if transfer west of London will take place this summer.
