Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip that we think you guys may have missed –
Crystal Palace star Michael Olise is definitely interested in completing a move to Chelsea this summer.
Mauricio Pochettino has only seen Kendry Paez, Diego Moreira, Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku make the move to Stamford Bridge this summer and is keen to keep on adding to his side.
The winger was in electrifying form throughout the campaign, becoming the first-ever Palace player to record double digits for assists in an individual Premier League season.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –
On the current situation, Pundit Dean Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “I’m expecting the interest in Rayan Cherki to continue as well through to next week and it’s unlikely both of these players are signed this summer.
“So with that in mind I am interested to see the actual value of these deals come to light and the terms of those potential deals too.
“One thing I do know about Olise is that his ambition in the game would definitely mean he is interested in a move like this, but of course he is also being linked with other big clubs and for him this is a fantastic moment.”
And if you believe the words of Reporter Iomie Stanley – he is more than ready for a move to CHELSEA .
Stanley said: “Listen at Palace they tend to sign some very gifted young players that go on to impress for the first team, players like Olise.
“He is young and still has a lot to improve on, but he has the potential to play in the top teams in Europe..
“Some mught say that a move to CHELSEA at this stage of his career may be the wrong decision – that he will not get to play as much as he would like and could get lost in the background.
“But Pochettino is a man that like to gives youngsters a chance – and if they impress and play well – then they will become a massive part of the squad for the Argentine boss.
“Olise is a talent – but he is certainly ready to play for a club like Chelsea.”
CHELSEA WILL SIGN CAICEDO –
Jay Bothroyd says Mauricio Pochettino’s CHELSEA will secure a transfer deal for Brighton star Moises Caicedo
Caicedo is the one player that the club have been chasing all summer window bit have so far failed to agree a fee with Brighton over a deal for the talented midfielder.
It has been claimed on numerous occasions that we are not willing to go above £80 million to sign the midfielder – but Brighton are playing hard-ball and will not go below their £100 million asking price.
However – amid all the speculation and rumours – Bothroyd has opened up and claimed that he is very confident that the board will complete the signing of Caicedo this summer window.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –
“I don’t think he can do what he did before,” said Bothroyd. “He has to be disciplined. He has to let his representatives deal with it and just play his football.
“I think the deal will happen (for CHELSEA). Rather than Declan Rice disrupting the market. I think it was Enzo Fernandez. If he hadn’t gone for that kind of money, then maybe Declan Rice wouldn’t have even gone for that kind of money, which then goes onto Caicedo. I think a deal will get done for around £85-90 million.
“From the player’s point of view, you want to be on the biggest stage, the biggest clubs and playing in the Champions League.”
SHOULD CHELSEA PAY THE MONEY TO SIGN CAICEDO –
Caicedo is certainly one for the future and he is certainly a player that the club believe can do big things.
The board have been silly with their money in recent windows – but in the case of Caicedo – we should walk away from the deal as he is not worth the money that is being talked about.
CHELSEA IN CHALOBAH TALKS –
Inter Milan are in advanced talks to sign CHELSEA star Trevoh Chalobah this summer window, it has been claimed.
The club have spent some serious money over the past couple of transfer windows and brought in alot of players – but have also allowed alot of players to depart the club this summer.
The defender donned the armband on an interim basis in North Carolina as Mauricio Pochetino began life as Blues manager with a 5-0 victory over Wrexham – despite all the speculation on his future.
Inter Milan are interested in a move for the defender, who has aims of breaking into the England squad ahead of the European Championships in Germany next year, and are now seemingly closing in on a deal for the defender.
WHAT IS THE LATEST –
The Italian giants have been interested in a move for the defender all season and initially made enquiries over his availability in January, but have had to wait until now before they made another move.
And the Football Insider website has claimed that Milan are now in talks with the board regarding a possible transfer deal.
The report adds that Chalobah would prefer to stay at Stamford Bridge but the club are pushing to move him on in the coming weeks.
WILL CHELSEA REALLY LET CHALOBAH LEAVE?
It will be a shame for the lad if he is forced out of the club as he actually wants to be there – and that is the type of player that Mauricio Pochettino wants at Stamford Bridge.
