A confirmation for the 23-year-old, considered – as the tabloid reads – as a key element of the central attacking nucleus.

The Senegalese striker born in 2001 has given the club so far in 2024 Blues a sensational offensive contribution, with 16 goals and all from open play – not one scored from a penalty. For him, the second goal so far in the new 2024/25 Premier League season. A good signal sent to the management and to Chelsea while waiting for the new contract extension.
