From the source

Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly stepping up their interest in Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi after another sensational performance from the young forward. Tresoldi scored a hat-trick in Sunday’s 3-2 victory over Sint-Truidense, taking his tally to 12 goals in 14 appearances across all competitions this season.

His rapid development has already attracted scouts from several major European clubs, with Chelsea and City now among those watching him closely. According to TEAMtalk, representatives from Chelsea and Man City were due to watch Tresoldi against Sint-Truidense as both clubs assess their future striker options.

Chelsea are searching for greater depth behind João Pedro after their lack of alternatives was exposed during his recent absence. Man City’s interest is longer-term, with the club reportedly assessing young forwards who could eventually provide succession planning behind Erling Haaland.
