Chelsea are now just evens to sign Dusan Vlahovic this summer
Chelsea are looking for a new striker to lead their line ahead of the new Premier League season and it is Dusan Vlahovic who is reportedly who they are going for.
Vlahovic is now evens to sign for Chelsea this summer with the latest reports coming out of Italy suggesting a deal will take place for a fee plus Romelu Lukaku in the coming weeks.
Italian publication Di Marzio say that the deal to sign Vlahovic will be a swap for Romelu Lukaku plus a fee of €35m with bookmakers making the move evens to happen this summer.
Bet365's odds suggest that there is a 50% chance of the transfer taking place with both players seemingly wanting out of their respective clubs.

What the expert says...
Romelu Lukaku expected to be part of the deal
Romelu Lukaku is expected to swap with Dusan Vlahovic and move to Juventus with his transfer back to Chelsea proving to be hugely unsuccessful.
Lukaku resigned for Chelsea back in 2021 for a reported fee of £97.5m according to the BBC and in his only season playing for the club scored just 8 goals in 26 appearances in the Premier League.
The Belgian striker spent a season out on loan at Inter Milan last year, the club that Chelsea signed him from, and it looks like a return to Serie A with Juventus could be on the cards.
Chelsea 5th favourites to win the Premier League this season
Betting is also available for the upcoming Premier League season and Chelsea feature in the market as 5th favourites to win the league under Mauricio Pochettino.
The latest betting odds put Chelsea at 12/1 to win the league with four teams ahead of them in the betting market but their lack of European football may help their cause this season.
Man City are once again favourites to win the league with Pep Guardiola's men looking to make it a 4th consecutive season of winning the division.
| Premier League Winner 23/24 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 8/11 | 57.9% |
| Arsenal | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Liverpool | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Man Utd | 11/1 | 8.3% |
| Chelsea | 12/1 | 7.7% |
