Sky Sports News has been told that Chelseawill NOT be signing Peter Crouch in this transfer window.
Sources have revealed that there was interest from parties claiming to represent Chelsea back in September as they tried to negotiate a move for Crouch to Stamford Bridge, shortly after the summer transfer window closed. However, Stoke made it clear at that time they didn’t want to sell Crouch.
The striker turns 37 later this month, and so Stoke’s bosses and then-manager Mark Hughes knew only a small transfer fee would apply. He was, and still is, a key member of the Stoke side. Crouch has made 21 appearances in all competitions so far this season. Crouch went on to sign a one-year contract extension with Stoke a few weeks later.
Chelsea are, nevertheless, still in the market for a target man to bolster their attacking options, and offer support to Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi.
