Chelsea are interested in Feyenoord attacker Santiago Gimenez as a potential transfer target.
That is according to a report from 90min.
They claim that Santiago Gimenez, who’s just 22, has been identified by Chelsea as a possible signing.
It is understood that the Mexican striker was chased by Premier League side West Ham in the summer after a great year in Holland, but he’s stayed put where he is for now.

Feyenoord star Gimenez has started the new season with five goals in his first five appearances across all competitions.
He scored 23 goals in total last year during his debut campaign in Dutch football with Feyenoord, firing them to the Eredivisie league title in the process.
The 22-year-old forward certainly looks like he could suit the Premier League with his physical attributes, so could we soon see him playing in England?
His name has now emerged at a time when Brentford’s frontman is hotly tipped with a possible switch to Stamford Bridge.

Well-respected journalist Simon Phillips has reported via his Substack this week that Chelsea are starting to grow confident of pulling off a deal to sign Toney.
Brentford’s 27-year-old frontman, albeit suspended right now for breaching betting regulations, is a proven goalscorer at the Premier League level.
If the Blues decide to go down the path of recruiting another No 9, we suspect most fans would much prefer someone that looks like the finished article rather than yet another youngster with big potential.
