Morning all,
Hope you are having a good week so far as we hit hump day again!
Today we have FOUR sourced insider stories on some big Chelsea transfer news!
Of course, as is the nature of the beast and the fact these were all written yesterday morning, some of these stories could have advanced from when I put them out.
Even still, let’s run through them. But before we do, you can catch all the very latest transfer news and rumours in the live blog from yesterday here. This covers all the general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place as well as any other bits of sourced news I’ve had.
Xavi Simons has been the big story of this week, and I had the latest on that as Chelsea began talks with RB Leipzig to try and sign him. Full story here. It’s emerged that Leipzig want Carney Chukwuemeka as well now, which can certainly help this one progress.
If Chelsea do manage to sign Simons, where will he play? I know some have raised concerns on that. So I’ve got a couple of lineups here with Simons in them and how it can all work. I genuinely think it looks good!
Meanwhile, Renato Veiga is advancing to Atletico Madrid and it could also mean Chelsea can go ahead and bring Jorrel Hato in from Ajax. Full sourced transfer story here.
Chelsea did NOT bid for Bryan Mbeumo and try to hijack his move to to Manchester United, despite reports. We have our story on that via our sources here.
See you all on the next live blog from around 8.30am!
Peace, Si.
