He scored a hat-trick in 6 minutes and now Chelsea want to sign him

Chelsea are one of the clubs that have spent the most money recently on signing top players. Since the arrival of Todd Boehly as new owner, the London side have twice broken the record for the most expensive purchase in the Premier League: first in January 2023, when they paid $131 million to Benfica for Enzo Fernandez, and six months later they bought Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion for $146 million.

And those weren't the only signings they made. They also spent a fortune to get Mikhaylo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia and Robert Sanchez, among others. However, this was not enough for The Blues to compete with the best teams in England. In fact, they are currently in 9th place in the standings, 17 points behind leaders Liverpool.

Dissatisfaction with the team's performances this season has made the club's chiefs consider signing more players and that is why they have targeted one of La Liga's stars: Artem Dovbyk. The Ukrainian striker is the top scorer in the Spanish league with 14 goals, the same number as Jude Bellingham. The difference is that he has achieved it with a much more humble team, the surprising Girona, who are the only leaders of the standings.

This Sunday Dovbyk had an unforgettable performance. His team faced Sevilla at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi, knowing that Real Madrid had already beaten Almeria and had taken the first place in the standings from them. That's why they needed to win, but things started badly for them, as after 10 minutes they were losing 1-0. It was then that Dovbyk did something wonderful: in just 6 minutes, between 13 and 19 minutes of the first half, he scored a hat-trick to help Girona win the game.

How much is he worth?

According to The Sun, Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino has been following Artem Dovbyk closely for a long time. The Argentine manager believes that he can be a good signing for The Blues and that's why he sent several scouts to take a closer look at him. But if the English side want to sign Dovbyk they will have to pay a lot of money. According to the specialized website Transfermarkt, his value is $30 million.
