Chelsea are making big strides this season. They had one of the best transfer windows this summer. The scouting system has done a great job for them so far. They are currently soaring in the Premier League. They were the first to identify the talent of Samu Omorodion. At the same time, they were the first to sign Estevao Willian who is drawing comparisons with Neymar himself. And now, they are targeting a move for 22-year-old Karl Hein.
Arsenal ready to let Karl Hein join rivals
Karl Hein is currently playing on loan for Real Valladolid. The keeper has done a good job in Spain so far. At the same time, he has a reputation for saving penalties. The Gunners are open to selling him for a fee of around €15-20 million. As per fichajes, Chelsea and Tottenham remain keen on signing the youngster. As for Arsenal, they will be selling the keeper to their direct competition and local rivals too. So that decision may come to haunt them in later stages. At the same time, they have no need of him right now as David Raya continues to star for the Gunners.
Will Chelsea win the race?
Tottenham are also keen to sign the 22-year-old. They want him as an alternative to Vicario. Meanwhile, Chelsea want Karl Hein to replace Robert Sanchez. Sanchez was not good against Liverpool. In the end, he ended up costing the game to his side. So signing Karl Hein makes a lot of sense for the Blues. At the same time, his penalty saving antics could prove crucial for them to win the big games. So it will be interesting to see where the Estonian plays next. He could go on to become a big star for either of the London based clubs.
