 Enzo Maresca has personally spoken to a €40 million Chelsea target regarding the summer move.

Chelsea are keen to bolster their attack with the signing of Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee.

Zirkzee had an impressive campaign with Bologna, and he scored 12 goals and picked up seven assists in all competitions last season.

The striker is highly rated across Europe, and he could prove to be a long-term acquisition for the Blues.

According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Chelsea have admired the player for a while, and they are likely to make a move this summer.

Manager Enzo Maresca has already spoken to the player personally regarding a potential move.

It will be interesting to see if Chelsea follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player.

He has a €40 million release clause in his contract, and Chelsea certainly has the financial muscle to afford him.

Joshua Zirkzee could transform the West London attack.

He could solve their goal-scoring problems next season. Zirkzee is more than just a goal scorer, and he will add creativity to the Chelsea attack as well.

He could form a solid partnership with Cole Palmer, and his arrival will allow the Danish international to develop without being put under too much pressure.

Although Cole did quite well last season, he needs more support in the attack. Also, Chelsea will be hoping to compete for trophies, and they need quality and depth in the side.

Signing another reliable attacker should be a top priority for them. The 23-year-old Dutchman has the potential to succeed at a top club, and he could be a key player for Chelsea in the coming seasons.
