mkh 591 Posted Saturday at 15:26 Share Posted Saturday at 15:26 Chelsea will only sign Alejandro Garnacho AND Xavi Simons if at least two first-team forwards leave before the window closes. Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson and Tyrique George could all move and incomings are exit dependent. In addition, Chelsea would like to transfer David Datro Fofana, Raheem Sterling, and Carney Chukwuemeka. (SkyKaveh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maresca is looking at this season, his job depends upon it. The board is focusing on big picture over the next few seasons. Personally I think we're more likely to recall Sarr, rather than buy a new central defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
