EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make approach to Premier League player's agent for move this month!
It's our second approach this month - plus new midfielder news!
Things are most certainly heating up in what was supposed to be a very quiet transfer window for Chelsea.
But something has switched, and moves are being made now; at least Chelsea are trying to make moves now. Some of these might still have to wait until the summer, but in terms of intentions, Chelsea are very much now trying for a few moves that would have waited until the summer just some weeks back.
Chelsea also still want to bring in a new midfielder this window on request of Enzo Maresca. However, that does not need to be a new midfielder, and there are still chances that either Lesley Ugochukwu or Andrey Santos could be recalled, SPTC sources have heard again yesterday. There’s a chance Santos is recalled too by the way, something that we were not expecting to happen at all, until now, potentially.
Chelsea have tried to turn the head of Kobbie Mainoo at Manchester United by approaching his agents, and this one is still potentially one that could happen this month, IF the player decides he is keen on the move. So far though, he ideally wants to stay at United and the belief is that a new deal can still be agreed there.
