Chelsea face European competition for Jovic

Chelsea face competition from a number of European clubs, including Roma, for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Luka Jović.

The Serbia international is on loan in Germany from Portuguese side Benfica, and has attracted a lot of attention due to his impressive goalscoring record this season.

The 21-year old has scored 14 goals in 19 Bundesliga appearances this campaign, and with the Blues without a reliable goalscorer, Jović makes for an attractive target.

However, despite reports of a £39million bid for the young forward, Chelsea will face competition from Roma, as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona, according to Calciomercato.

Chelsea have had issues in the goalscoring department this season, with both Olivier Giroud and Álvaro Morata failing to find any consistent form, while January loan signing Gonzalo Higuain has not yet hit the ground running.

While European competition for Jović makes their job harder, Chelsea will still hope to persuade the player to move to Stamford Bridge in the summer, touting the possibility of playing in the Premier League as a major influential factor.
