Chelsea scouts Conrad Harder, Juventus also interested
Chelsea is looking ahead to strengthen its attack, with Danish striker Conrad Harder now on their radar. The 21-year-old forward is reportedly being closely watched by the Blues during his loan spell at Strasbourg. Chelsea sees Harder as a promising prospect and plans to track his development this season before considering a move.
This strategy is aided by the existing connection between Chelsea and Strasbourg, both part of the BlueCo ownership group. However, RB Leipzig retains control over the player's future.
Xabi Alonso eyes Chelsea's future
Chelsea aims to build a team consistently competing at the highest level. Xabi Alonso seeks players who fit not only immediate needs but also the long-term project. The forward line is a key area of focus. While the Blues have offensive options, the club prioritizes young players with significant growth potential.
Harder fits this profile perfectly.
Conrad Harder: a profile
Born in 2005, Harder is a Danish center-forward with a strong physique. He can also participate effectively in build-up play. At just 21, he has considerable room for improvement, which is why Chelsea is keen to observe his progression.
His time at Strasbourg will be a significant test. Chelsea can watch him compete in a competitive league like Ligue 1 and assess his adaptability to a new environment. Juventus had previously been linked with Harder before the arrival of Woltemade and continues to monitor him.
