Chelsea FC's ownership group is tracking a young Argentine forward as the club looks to build on its promising start to the season. BlueCo, which owns Chelsea and French side Strasbourg, holds an interest in Boca Juniors' 19-year-old attacker Tomás Aranda.
The teenager is seen as a prospect for the future, with the multi-club model allowing for potential development pathways. Any move would likely be viewed as a long-term investment rather than an immediate first-team solution at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea currently sit sixth in the Premier League with seven points from four games, having scored ten goals. They are five points behind leaders Arsenal ahead of their next match against Brentford. The club's attacking options have been productive, with João Pedro leading the scoring charts with three goals in four appearances before his recent injury.
The team's next challenge is a trip to face Brentford, who are seventh in the table, on 18 September.
Manager Enzo Maresca has several attacking players at his disposal, including Cole Palmer, who scored a penalty and provided an assist in the recent 6-3 win over Leeds. The club's form has been mixed, with a 2-2 draw against Hull City preceding that victory. For the latest team news and match previews, check our fixtures section.
While interest in Aranda is understood to be at an early stage, it reflects a continued focus on identifying emerging talent. The 19-year-old would represent another South American addition to Chelsea's project if a deal progresses. The club has not commented on the speculation surrounding the Boca Juniors player.
