Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte, is rumoured to be interested in signing Ghanaian international and Red Star Belgrade striker Richmond Boakye.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0GhanaSoccernet<\/em>, the news has been confirmed by a \u201ccredible Stamford Bridge source.\u201d<\/p>\n Boakye, 24, has enjoyed an impressive start this season, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists in 16 appearances with Red Star Belgrade.<\/p>\n Scouts on their way<\/strong><\/p>\n Conte already knows Boakye, as the Ghanaian signed for Juventus in 2012, where he played a single game and scored one goal.<\/p>\n Before leaving La Vecchia Signora in 2014, the striker was loaned to Sassuolo in 2012 and to Elche in 2013.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0GhanaSoccernet<\/em>\u2019s report, it is understood that Chelsea will send a scout to watch Boakye in both Red Star Belgrade\u2019s Europa League matches against Arsenal on October 19 and November 2, respectively in Belgrade and London.<\/p>\n Only in 2017, Boakye has scored 30 goals. It\u2019s been said that the quality of his scoring has made him one of the deadliest strikers in world football.<\/p>\n From free transfer to \u00a310m<\/strong><\/p>\n Earlier this year, Boakye\u2019s parent club, Serie B side Latina, went into bankruptcy. They were forced to give away their players for free.<\/p>\n The striker joined Red Star Belgrade, team on which he has shown some impressive performances.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was young like around my 20\u2019s everybody was saying that I have talent,\u201d he told Pulse Ghana Sports earlier this month.<\/p>\n \u201cIn football we have ups and downs. Sometimes it happens and I sat down and analyzed certain things that I realized was wrong with me.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I went to Latina, unfortunately, I got a groin problem which took me out for four to 5 months.<\/p>\n \u201cI just put my bad fortunes aside and put things in place with my personal advisor Sharaj Ahmed and we came with a solution.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is what is working for me now and I am following that trend.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, the striker who is currently on Ghana duty, has a \u00a310m valuation. For this price, it would be rare if the Belgrade squad tries to block a Chelsea move.<\/p>\n \u2013<\/p>\n Source: AS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte, is rumoured to be interested in signing Ghanaian international and Red Star Belgrade striker Richmond Boakye.
