Aaron Bouwman turns 18yo in 18 days, so could join us right before the window slams shut Exclusive: Chelsea eye move for Ajax defender Aaron Bouwman https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-Chelsea-eye-move-for-ajax-defender-aaron-bouwman/ Chelsea are tracking highly-rated Ajax youngster Aaron Bouwman this summer, sources have told Football Insider. Scouts from Stamford Bridge watched the 17-year-old in the recent pre-season Como Cup, where he scored a spectacular goal in a 5-1 win against Celtic on Thursday, 24 July. The defender is regarded as the next top prospect to emerge from Ajax’s famed academy, and Chelsea are keen to be at the head of the queue for the Netherlands Under-18s international. Chelsea have already signed Jorrel Hato from Ajax this summer, and they are now expected to keep tabs on Bauwman’s progress as they weigh up a move for the central defender.

Few lower tier saying same This guy also says we would have to sell Chabz in order to sign a new CB and it would unsettle pong if we did Not sure I believe him (kinsella), we could sell 3/4 cbs and bring in someone good with plenty of backup Maybe no one really knows much at the moment in the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is a bit concerning that we haven’t heard of any real concrete links with Nkunku. We’ve heard from Romano several times that “many clubs” are interested but nothing seems remotely close at this point with the season a week away. And as for Jackson, he still doesn’t appear to be any club’s priority/first choice at this point even after loads of strikers have moved. He still feels like a fallback option for the likes of Newcastle if they miss out on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is understood Leipzig would like to re sign Nkunku. (@ed_aarons) Chelsea target Xavi Simons in possible Christopher Nkunku swap deal with RB Leipzig Nkunku is for sale and could return to Bundesliga club Blues remain in Garnacho talks and look to sell Jackson https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/aug/10/Chelsea-target-xavi-simons-in-possible-christopher-nkunku-swap-deal-with-rb-leipzig Chelsea are in talks with RB Leipzig over a potential swap deal for Xavi Simons that could lead to Christopher Nkunku returning to the German club. It is understood Leipzig would like to re-sign the France striker, who moved to Stamford Bridge on a six-year deal in 2023 for £52m but has failed to settle in west London, as a replacement for Benjamin Sesko after his £73.7m move to Manchester United. Chelsea have been in negotiations with the Bundesliga club over a fee for Xavi Simons, with the Netherlands forward having already agreed personal terms despite interest from Bayern Munich. Nicolas Jackson tells Chelsea he wants to leave as Newcastle circle Read more Simons joined Leipzig from Paris Saint-Germain in January for €50m (£43m) after two successful loan spells and had been expected to cost about €70m (£61m). But Chelsea are now pushing to include Nkunku, who they believe to be valued at £40m, as part of the deal. Negotiations are ongoing, with Chelsea likely to have to pay a sizeable fee on top for the 22-year-old, who can play in a number of attacking positions. Leipzig are also interested in signing Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, who has interest from several Premier League clubs. Chelsea remain in talks with United over a move for Alejandro Garnacho and are hoping to sell Nicolas Jackson to help balance the books. Newcastle have shown interest in the Senegal forward after missing out on Sesko and other targets, although they are believed to be waiting to see whether Liverpool make a new bid for Alexander Isak after turning down a £110m offer. Jackson has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge after the arrivals of Liam Delap and João Pedro, with Eddie Howe’s side believed to be frontrunners to sign the 24-year-old. He is understood to have trained alone on Friday after informing Chelsea that he would like to move, with Milan also linked with the 24-year-old. Chelsea had valued Jackson at £80m but are likely to accept a reduced fee of around £65m as they attempt to reshape their attacking options. Nkunku and Jackson were both left out of Friday’s friendly against Bayer Leverkusen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
