So are we in for a new CB?

Veiga/Disasi/Gilchrist - to be sold

Sarr/Anselmino - to be loaned out

Acheampong - more fullback then CB

Fofana - won't play more than 10 games

Badiashille - he is terrible

That leaves us with Colwill/Chalobah/Tosin - I know they are capable of great game, but the are not consistent enough, trusting them for PL/CL run is suicidal

We need two defenders - an elite RCB and a LB/CB hybrid like Hato

IF PSG keep fucking about with the Ilya Zabarnyi transfer (and they deffo are), we should swoop in for the lad.

From all that I have read, he only wants PSG, so it will not be easy.

Obviously I would have rather had Huijsen, but Zabarnyi is also a rock-solid CB and young (22).

Sources: Newcastle one of the clubs with surprise interest in Chelsea man

Blues are still looking to sell the attacker

Chelsea are now working hard on a number of outgoing transfer deals this summer and it’s safe to say that they have a huge workload here and many players who they want to sell and who could still be sold.

There are plenty of things bubbling up now and potential deals on the cards as Chelsea take interest in a number of their players.

Some are ‘up for sale’, but others are not actively being pushed out yet the club will listen to offers for them, Nicolas Jackson being one of those.

But a player who is actively for sale still is attacking midfielder Christopher Nkunku, and there is a new club showing some interest in him.

According to an SPTC source, Newcastle are the latest club to have expressed an interest in signing the France international with his future still very much being up in the air.

Chelsea are very much looking to replace Nkunku still this summer, but they have a specific and pretty big price tag on his head right now. The attacker has interest from a number of other clubs but nothing has yet advanced.

Newcastle are just showing an interest for now and it’s unclear whether they will push ahead with a move or not.

I am also crazy frustrated that we agreed to pay him that insane salary, and that is on Boehly, and has been of many things that has put us under the cosh of UEFA and their bollocks FFP.

IF he refuses a buy-out, then I absolutely want him in the reserves though.

It is an all-round bad situ.

The best solution is that he agrees a deal (salary-wise) with some other team, then we just make up the difference (for his last 2 years on his contract with us) with a buy-out, plus get a small fee (£20m seems unlikely, but who knows) in terms of a transfer.

You can be frustrated by whole situation, wanting to send him to reserves. But calling him 'cunt' because he is earning money from contract we gave him? That's too much.

Sterling's time is done at PL level now, and he won't go to the Championship, he will go to Saudi if anything

Bournemouth selling defensive line to Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, PSG... Petrovic solid buy but will be hard to replace all.

[mkh 572]

Liverpool have finalized a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign 23-year-old forward Hugo Ekitike for £79m (£69m fixed, £10m in performance-based bonuses)

Benfica are set to launch a final attack for Joao Felix and hope to close the deal this week.

The transfer would be around 20-25 million euros for 50% of his rights.

If true, that would be awesome.   I didn't mind Felix in the conference league games last season but I never understood the mid season move to Milan 😆

So we got João Pedro & Liam Delap for about the same as Liverpool are paying for Ekitike.

They chose not to activate Kepa's clause, even though it was only 5 million and then went ahead and got Petrovic for 25 million.  

I'm surprised they are allowing both CB's to leave, they must have someone lined up as replacement.

Maybe that transfer helps us with the potential Jackson transfer fee...

Honestly one of the worst pieces of business I've ever seen... 

Unless they think Petrovic is set to become a bonafide superstar.
