Chelsea Transfer News: Andre Schurrle To Stamford Bridge For £20 Million?

Chelsea are prepared to offer an improved £20 million bid for Bayer Leverkusen striker Andre Schurrle, according to The Daily Mail. The European Champions had previously offered £17 million for the 21-year-old Germany striker which was instantly rejected earlier this month by Leverkusen, who are keen on keeping their star striker. It is expected that the Stamford Bridge club are going back in with a bigger offer. Schurrle scored nine goals in 40 appearances at the BayArena last term, something of a disappointment for the player who didn't have the best of seasons last term. His goal scoring record for the national team is impressive, scoring seven goals in 14 matches for this country. The attacker is said to be versatile in his position play and is able to play on either flank or as an old fashioned striker. Chelsea are in the market for new attacking players after Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba left the London club on free transfers this summer. The Blues were quick to bring in Eden Hazard and Marko Marin as new options but with questions mark still hanging over Fernando Torres and his ability to be prolific again, Chelsea still want another striker in and if they can agree a fee with Leverkusen, Schurrle could be the man.
