Sources: Chelsea turn attentions to Ivory Coast international winger

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-turn-attentions-to

There’s a new name on the Chelsea recruitment agenda right now, and it’s a player making waves out there in world football.

We are into the January transfer window now, but you’d be forgiven if you had forgotten all about it due to everything else that has been going on at our club.

Chelsea are seeking out any possible opportunities for January, and we could well see one or two new arrivals into the first team squad. We just have to wait and see on that, with the new manager, Liam Rosenior, arriving this week.

But there’s a new name that has caught Chelsea’s attentions this week.

SPTC Sources have been told that are stepping up scouting on RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.

The 19-year-old attacker can play on the left or on the right, and he has already earned 7 caps for Ivory Coast, scoring 2 goals along the way.

He’s also bagged 7 goals in 16 appearances in Bundesliga this season so far, playing mostly off the left wing.

Chelsea now have him on their radar and are pondering a potential move to try and sign him in the near future. It’s VERY unlikely that Leipzig will allow any sale mid-season, but clubs interested in Diomande are trying to be quick about it because both Tottenham and Manchester United have registered their interest in the player as well as Chelsea.

He’s another rising talent that has a big future ahead of him. Chelsea have put themselves firmly in the mix now.

 

 

Does Gittens work as a sweetener for this potential deal?

There is no scenario I see Leipzig will be interested in Gittens

If we can get Madrid to pay close to/more than we paid for Enzo Fernandez, we should be all over it. Let’s be honest, he is a good player but no more than that. 

I do imagine Vitinha will be their first choice though as he is genuinely world class. And can actually get around the pitch. 

Yeah and then what, they gonna use the money for him and buy 3 Mexican kids and pretend they gonna turn world class in 5 years.

Arse already had the best CB pairing in the league BY FAR with Saliba & Gabriel. They then bought Hincapie & that kid from Spain who are both top quality depth. And now it’s coming out that they want Guehi. 

Meanwhile, look at us. This is how insanely far we’ve fallen. Fucking Arsenal may soon have FIVE CB’s that are better than every single one of ours on their way to pissing the league and as the favorites to win the UCL. A club for the last 20 years we’ve laughed at and taken the piss out of as we have owned London.

Absolutely depressing.

Leo Castledine is signing for Boro permanently, he has been on loan at Huddersfield

Would be surprised if their interest in Guehi is real. Gabriel signed a new deal till 2029. Hincapie and Calafiori can both play LCB too.

Arteta has a CB fetishized so I wouldn’t be surprised if Calafiori is moved to LB for good.

Briefs are coming out tonight

"Chelsea are calm about the market" of course we are, we don't want to spend money

"If there is an oppurtunity in the market, then we may act" may is the crucial word, translates to 'will we fuck'

"Chelsea left the Semenyo conversation as the figures were not right" which translates to 'he wanted City and nobody else'

We ain't buying anyone in January, the PP and SD's are loving this

Figures were not right yet spunked £100m on Gittens & Garnacho…. Aye right….

The briefs are hilarious. They think they can pull the wall over our eyes. Its the same with that dipshit journalists who got the Q&A with the leadership group, gullible enough to write an article putting the same sort of nonsense in it then release a corresponding one a few days later saying their skeptical….. yeaaaaah 😂

I cannot think of a more sensible and crucial signing now for us than going for Marc Guehi

IF they get Guéhi
Footballer and IF Colwill never fully recovers for us they will have NINE players who all have played CB in the past or present and all of whom would be better than anyone we have atm (for sure IF Colwill is perma wrecked). Potentially Acheampong may end up better than many of the Arse 9 listed below. We damn well had all best hope he does and Colwill fully recovers.

they would have Guéhi

then 8 more

William Saliba (top 5 CB on the planet)
Gabriel Magalhães  (top 5 CB on the planet)
Piero Hincapié 
Cristhian Mosquera
Riccardo Calafiori  
Jurriën Timber 
Ben White 
Declan Rice

‘’ If there is an opportunity in the market”

What the hell is Marc Guehi if not an opportunity in the market??

[Fulham Broadway 17,542]

Its all  about prioritising a spine - thought we already knew this. This involves one or two experienced players, and you start from the back. Fucking hell that was our policy when we were successful, cant they see that ?

Maybe Guehi doesn't want to come to this mess?

If he sees out his contract, he'll get a nice sign on fee and get his pick of European clubs

We had a decent spine but how many of them are actually fit?

Reece - Fofana - Colwill - Cucu   Caicedo - Lavia

Lavia and Fofana's injury records are a joke, how do you spend 120 million and they can't play 3 games in a row.

You have TWO for every position, you dont outsource the medical to a company that also repairs other players from rivals.
