5 clubs targeting Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus
What is it about Marco Reus that has the world drooling every time he touches the ball? Is it his hair? From first glance, it does seem like the kind of hair-do that uses a lot of styling creams. But yeah, it does work. And the fact that he’s stayed loyal to that style for a while probably explains a lot about him in ways we wouldn’t have thought.
Seriously though, Reus is a fantastic footballer – when he’s fit, at least. The 27-year-old is the kind of winger any team in the world would love to have. He’s not just great with and without the ball, but his mental strength to keep going on and on is a testament to why he’s still regarded as one of Germany’s and Borussia Dortmund’s best players.
With only two years left on his current contract with the Ruhr club this summer, Reus is potentially sizing up his options. There are a bunch of clubs all over Europe reportedly considering him and should he stay fit, he could get a move to either one of these five clubs:
Chelsea
Just Google ‘Marco Reus Chelsea’ and a bunch of articles will pop up suggesting Antonio Conte has been on a scouting spree – if you can say that – intensively studying every aspect of Reus’ 15 games so far this season and how it could help further Chelsea’s claim to the crown both in England and in Europe.
It’s possible a lot of that happened. Reus is a tactically astute footballer with a brain wired for attacking and breaking down defences. Given Conte’s system at Chelsea, he needs someone who can take care of the attacking part all by himself.
And with Eden Hazard seemingly angling towards a move to Real Madrid, it would be in Chelsea’s best interests if they pursued someone in the ilk of Reus.
As part of a front three including Willian/Pedro and Diego Costa, Reus wouldn’t need much time settling into the Premier League given the amount of experience he has facing English oppositions in the UEFA Champions League.
