Chelsea Are Ready To Step Up Their Efforts To Land This Talented Defender: Good Option For The Blues?

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Chelsea are ready to step up their efforts to land Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez. It has been claimed that the Blues are showing interest in recruiting the Ecuadorian talent this summer.

Ordonez’s Impressive Form In Belgian Football

Ordonez has enjoyed a solid campaign in the Jupiler Pro League after producing a run of impressive performances for Club Brugge on the defensive end of the field. The 22-year-old has scored four times in 42 matches for the Belgian outfit this season across various competitions.

The Ecuadorian sensation is currently one of the best centre-halves in the Jupiler Pro League. Hence, the Blues would do well to snap him up in this summer transfer window.

His current contract at Club Brugge will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for Chelsea to land him on a cut-price deal later this year.
