British media: Chelsea clearly hopes to sign Drapp, they are confident of defeating Manchester United to win the player

May 27th According to the Chelsea Chronicle, Chelsea has made it clear that they are very willing to sign Drapp. Despite the competition from Manchester United, they are confident of defeating Manchester United to win the players.

Despite Ipswich's relegation this season, the England player has scored 12 goals throughout the season, more than Jackson has scored this season. Chelsea won a controversial penalty against Ipswich, and quickly translated it into a goal, which allowed the Blues to observe his talent at close range.

In addition to Chelsea, Manchester United also showed strong interest in activate Drapp's relegation termination clause, although he had played for Manchester United's city rival Manchester City. However, according to the Chelsea Chronicle, after the latest round of negotiations with players, the Blues are confident of defeating the Red Devils to complete the deal.

According to transfer insider Graeme Bailey, Chelsea proposed their plans and prospects to Drapp in a new round of negotiations over the past week. They think Drapp is perfectly capable of becoming the team's first choice striker, but they have not promised to give him a starting position.

Drapp has made it clear that he hopes to get a stable playing time at the new club to win a chance to enter the England World Cup squad, and Chelsea believes they can help him achieve this international goal.

Chelsea coach Maresca once coached Drapp at Manchester City, and Drapp is also close to his teammate Palmer when he was in Manchester City's youth training camp. Of course, Drapp is not the only forward candidate to focus on, and they are also actively pushing to complete other deals before the start of the Club World Cup. Recent reports strongly suggest that Chelsea may sign Ekitic who performed well in Frankfurt, but signing Ekitic would require about £85m, which could be a barrier for them to strengthen in other positions.

From a football and financial perspective, signing Drapp is a wise choice, which is also a key factor in the club's decision-making since the change of ownership three years ago.
