Chelsea could use Joel Ordonez
It is no secret that they need more quality and depth in the defensive unit. They have struggled with multiple injury problems at the back. Ordonez would be a quality long-term investment for them. Joining one of the biggest clubs in the world will be exciting for him as well. Chelsea could unlock his true potential and bring out the best in him.
The defender has been labelled as an “outstanding” player in the past. He has been linked with clubs like Liverpool as well. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can get the deal done in the coming months.
Can Chelsea convince Club Brugge?
Convincing the defender to join the club will not be too difficult for Chelsea. It remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with his club.
Club Brugge are unlikely to stand in his way of a big move, but they are likely to demand a premium. Chelsea might have to pay a substantial amount of money in order to get the deal done.
The 21-year-old has the physicality to thrive in English football, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Italian giants Inter Milan are keeping tabs on his situation as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the coming months.
