Chelsea plan shock right back bid
The current reigning champions of England, Chelsea are reported to be in the works to line up a shock move for Bayern Munich's star player, Philipp Lahm. The Chelsea manager, Carlo Ancelotti who has been a long term admirer of
the player has realized that Lahm is just the player that he needs to beef up his Chelsea squad and make it unrepeatable. The manager however is looking to land the player in the January transfer window, but has also admitted that he will not mind waiting
till January to relish the services of the German international.
Lahm has been a part of the Bayern Munich side, ever since he was an eleven year old boy. This is of course excluding the two years that he spent at Stuttgart on loan. The player is reported to be ready for a new challenge and
apparently it doesn't get any better than a move to Chelsea. Another reason for the player wanting to potentially move away from the club, is due to the fact that Munich are currently in terrible form and have managed to pick up just two wins so far this season.
If the team continues to perform this way, it won't be long before there is a major sale at the club, with Lahm leading the line for obvious reasons.
However it is kind of odd to realize just why Chelsea will require a new left back. The team is currently laying witness to Branislav Ivanovic playing in that position and he has so far been rather good at what he does. Nonetheless
the manager is still looking to try and lure the side back to the club so that he can have more than just once decent option to play in that position. However the player won't be an easy one to capture, with Munich regarding him to be one of the best players
at the club and willing to keep him with them under almost any circumstance.
If the team are to make an official bid for the player, it is by no means going to be a cheap one, the German club side will be looking to get around twenty four million pounds for the player, but with Chelsea having the money
to match that estimate, it will be interesting to see what really happens with this situation in the future.
