Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has backed Serhou Guirassy as a potential fit for Chelsea’s attacking setup, while also lauding Borussia Dortmund’s recruitment team for their ability to create an environment where players thrive.

Speaking on Guirassy’s rise, Cole was full of praise: “The recruitment team at Dortmund are incredible. They have some system there because players feel at home there. Serhou Guirassy, how much would he go for now? They will be queuing up for him, I’m sure. I think Chelsea, he can play that role.”

Guirassy, who has been in sensational form, reportedly has an exit clause in his contract worth between €60 million and €75 million. However, the clause can only be activated by a select group of elite clubs, including Real Madrid and Chelsea — making the West London outfit a realistic destination should they make a move.

Chelsea’s hunt for a consistent goal scorer has been a topic of conversation for multiple seasons, and Guirassy’s profile — a powerful, clinical forward with Bundesliga pedigree — could be what the Blues need to bolster their frontline.

With Dortmund’s track record of developing talent and Chelsea’s ongoing squad evolution, the stars may be aligning for a potential summer transfer that could see Guirassy light up the Premier League.
