EXCL: Chelsea still looking at signing former Man City player despite transfer move in the summer

Chelsea are busy working in the background as we approach another transfer window opening up this window.
Whilst January is never going to be as busy as summer transfer windows simply because they are longer and no club really wants to let players go mid-season, there are a few potential situations building up and Chelsea will always be looking at opportunities.
Although I wouldn’t be putting this transfer story into that category right now, it is an interesting one to watch for sure.
SPTC Sources have revealed that Chelsea are still very much in the frame for former Manchester City attacking midfielder James McAtee, despite him making a move to Nottingham Forest in the summer.
As we reported in the summer, Chelsea very much looked at signing McAtee then as well but in the end did not make the move, and he duly signed for Forest.
He signed a contract at the club until 2030 but that has not put Chelsea off or ended their interest in the 23-year-old. He is a player that very much stays on Chelsea’s shortlist and it could certainly be one to watch next summer.
McAtee is another Joe Shields recommendation and a player who is universally liked at Chelsea, not just by Shields.
One to keep an eye on in the near future.
