His strong performances extended to the international stage with Bosnia and Herzegovina during the World Cup, where his sharp attacking displays caught the eye of top scouts.

Capable of playing across the frontline with dual-footed flair, Alajbegović aligns with Chelsea’s long-term squad vision.

With manager Xabi Alonso familiar with Leverkusen’s youth pipeline, the Blues view Alajbegović as an ideal addition to their dynamic attack.

As talks progress, Chelsea hope to win the race against Italian competition and complete a deal in the coming weeks.
