Plans for last days of the window: plenty of names in here 👀
You all ready for a crazy week ahead? I think it’s about to get VERY busy. Chelsea have SO much to do, and the priority is outgoings.
But as well as that, Chelsea will push for a new centre back and a new striker. They are now looking to expose opportunities for these remaining days.
As said, Victor Osimhen was always going to be one for the final days of the window as it’s been a real game of poker. Romelu Lukaku to Napoli is ‘basically done’ as we reported on Friday before any other outlet then followed up and reported a deal agreed. It remains to be seen yet just how connected that one is to any deal to bring in Osimhen, but the sticking point there remains his high wages and whether Chelsea are prepared to pay the overall financial package to get him in. But it’s still on the cards and is absolutely one to watch for the final days. Osimhen remains the priority in attack.
SPTC sources have been told that Enzo Maresca ideally wants an ‘elite finisher’ in the door before the end of the window.
