Chelsea have begun exploring a potential move for Algerian winger Anis Hadj Moussa after his outstanding form in the Eredivisie placed him firmly among the most talked-about young attackers in Dutch football.
The 22-year-old has delivered seven goals and three assists in 23 appearances this season, a return that has underlined his growing influence in Feyenoord’s front line and sparked enquiries from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
His progress has not gone unnoticed in England, where Chelsea are understood to have made contact in recent weeks.
According to Foot Mercato, the London club have already held an initial meeting with the player’s representative, Mohamed Dahmane, to gather information and outline their interest.
Chelsea’s recruitment team is said to view Hadj Moussa as a profile that fits their strategy of investing in emerging talent capable of shaping the club’s future.
Feyenoord, however, are fully aware of the mounting attention around the Paris-born winger.
A few days ago, Liverpool were also reported to have asked about his situation, while Olympique de Marseille have likewise been monitoring developments, according to exclusive information.
The surge of interest reflects how rapidly Hadj Moussa’s reputation has grown since establishing himself in Rotterdam.
Contractually, Feyenoord remain in a strong position.
The Algerian international is tied to the club until June 2030, giving the Dutch champions control over any potential negotiations.
His market value is currently estimated at €20 million by Transfermarkt, a figure that is likely to rise if he continues to deliver at his present level.
Hadj Moussa earns an annual salary of €490,000, equivalent to around 318.5 million FCFA, making him one of the more modestly paid standout performers in the league.
For Chelsea, the inquiry is part of a broader approach focused on identifying high-ceiling players before their value escalates further.
The club have increasingly looked beyond established stars, preferring to build a squad around young footballers with strong resale potential and the adaptability to grow within the Premier League environment.
From Feyenoord’s perspective, there is no immediate pressure to sell.
The winger remains a key component of their attacking structure, and with multiple clubs circling, they can afford to be patient.
The coming months could prove decisive, particularly if formal bids are submitted ahead of the summer transfer window.
In the short term, Hadj Moussa’s attention remains on domestic matters.
Feyenoord are preparing for their 19th league fixture of the campaign against Sparta Rotterdam, a match that will again place him in the spotlight.
The betting company 1xbet has listed Feyenoord to win at 1.36, a draw at 5.90 and a Sparta Rotterdam victory at 7.00.
While Chelsea’s move is currently limited to inquiries, the situation illustrates how quickly Hadj Moussa has emerged as one of the Eredivisie’s most sought-after wide players — and why a major transfer battle could soon be on the horizon.
