Chelsea chase former Arsenal target

Written by Jack Simpkin on March 9, 2013

Chelsea have expressed an intrest in signing 18 year-old AC Milan forward, M’Baye Niang this summer, according to talkSPORT.

Niang started his career with 3 youth spells at various French clubs before becoming a regular in Ligue 1 club Caen’s starting XI.

The Frenchman made 30 appearances for Caen, scoring 5 goals from the wing before attracting AC Milan who then bought him for an undisclosed fee last summer.

Milan shrugged off opposition from three Premier League clubs, in the form of Everton, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur but now, it seems Chelsea want to bring the youngster to England once and for all.

Talent

The Blues have shown their interest in much young talent in recent times. Signings such as Oscar, Romelu Lukaku and Lucas Piazon have all been made with one eye on the future and now M’Baye Niang could be another youthful addition to the Londoners’ squad.

Chelsea sent representatives from their scouting network to watch Niang make a substitute appearance in Milan’s very impressive 2-0 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League not so long ago.

So with Abramovich making a stance into buying young player could M’Baye Niang be the next youngster through the door at Stamford Bridge?

I really hope Chelsea dont get him. In recent years its been clear to see that Chelski dont develop players that destroy them. Who was the last youth player to make through the Chelsea ranks?? I cant name one.
It seems to be more the case that Chelski prefer to buy the top talents not to nurture them but more, just so that the other teams cant have them. Just look at Lukaku as a prime example. That kid has all the hall marks of a top player. Better than Torres in fact. During their preseason it was Lukaku making all the headlines yet it was him deemed surplus.
Chelski bought him thinking he would be an instant Drogba successor. When he wasn’t they gave up. When Torres was failing- they bought Ba. Now they want Niang.

I really hope this kid shows sense
