Chelsea have lodged a surprise €20m offer with Turkish giants Fenerbahce for Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike and are ready to wrap a deal one of Europe’s most quickest, if not unpredictable forwards once the World Cup concludes. Chill, that's not all, Premier League giants Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly interested in the 27 year-old Fenerbahce striker; Russian side Zenit st. Petersburg is also in the purchase for the striker's signature.
Emenike has spent less than 12 months with Fener after completing a late switch to Istanbul from Spartak Moscow last summer and has scored 12 goals in 28 appearances, providing 9 assists. but Turkish newspaper Fanatik is reported by the Metro to believe that Chelsea are chasing fresh strike cover in a move that has come completely out of the blue.
Emenike's current coach Ersun Yanal revealed that he would like to keep the player still at the club but an imminent move can not be ruled out. "If you were to ask me to make a choice, I would always go with Emenike. Emenike is younger, stronger, faster and far more explosive."
Jose Mourinho still views Atletico Madrid marksman Diego Costa as his number one strike star for next season, with today’s shock move for Emenike completely independent of that long-awaited deal, which is still expected to go through for a fee of £32m before the end of this week. Emenike is currently strutting his stuff for Nigeria at the World Cup.
