As I type, Croatia are currently taking on Belgium in the World Cup, with Belgium struggling to qualify for the knockout stages.
Croatia though, have a very good team and will be ones to watch in this tournament. And as is often the case with these games, there will be a Chelsea target to keep an eye on and do some scouting on.
Sources: Chelsea set agent meeting to sign former Arsenal player!
Chelsea fans will once again be keeping a close eye on defender Josko Gvardiol, who is a genuine target for the club.

Chelsea already have one Croatian international at the club in Mateo Kovacic, and he has been speaking about his national team mate ahead of the game today. As you’d imagine, Kovacic was full of praise for the young defender and refers to him as a ‘phenomenal talent’.

Could the pair soon be Chelsea team mates? Well, it could certainly be on the cards if the rumours transpire.
