MORE INFORMATION:

Plays 8 for Celta. Very good ball carrier, nice press resistance as well. Needs to refine his final ball + decisions, but exciting. Don't know why Poch wants him though, considering a) we are likely to play 4-2-3-1 b) if not, we already have talented 8s in Carney, Casadei, Santos.

Chelsea’s midfield could be obliterated..

• Mason Mount £50-60m
• Loftus Cheek £10-15m
• Mateo Kovacic £30-35m
• N’Golo Kante FREE

• Conor Gallagher?

Chelsea will need to bring in a MINIMUM of 3 midfielders as it stands.

How long will it take for a whole new midfield to gel? What should be our expectations? What will the impact in the dressing room be if Kante, Kovacic, Mount and Jorginho have all left in the space of a few months.. 😶

Breaking | Chelsea initiate contact over the possible signing of Mike Maignan from AC Milan, according to L’Équipe. More follows.

🚨 Loftus Cheek to AC Milan is getting colder. He did not convince the management due to an investment issue regarding age.

I’ve read the full story - I don’t see much in it, but who knows. If Maignan doesn’t want to extend, there could be something to be done, but it would be expensive.

I’d probably tempt them with Mendy + cash the other way, only way I see it happening.

We’ve still got to spend on midfield and we’re chasing Lautaro apparently, who will cost a lot. So would Osimhen or Vlahovic.
