Should Chelsea Move In For El Mala This Summer?

El Mala is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some driving runs with it out in the wide areas. He has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive end of the field and can strike the ball with venom from long range.

The German sensation can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. El Mala is primarily a left-winger but can also function as a right-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if asked to do so. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physical style and high intensity of the Premier League if the Blues manage to bring him on board this summer.

We can expect El Mala to add more goals and creativity to Chelsea’s frontline. He is more than capable of fighting for a regular first-team place at Stamford Bridge next season.

At 19, El Mala has got the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each year. Therefore, Chelsea should focus on moving in for him later this year.
