Chelsea fans will be hoping that their club can finally end the wait for their new manager to be confirmed today.
The Blues have been expecting Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca to be confirmed for the past week after it became clear he would be the man to replace Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge. While the weekend passed with no official announcement, reports late on Sunday suggest that the wait will end today.
Football.london understands there were no issues about Maresca’s deal and that it was just a matter of compensation needing to be finalised. Over the weekend, rumours came out about Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo choosing to regret Newcastle United in favour of a switch to Chelsea.
The centre-back has previously been on the books of Manchester City and would act as a new option following the departure of Thiago Silva at the expiry of his contract. Maresca is thought to have approved this deal to go through.
Elsewhere, City midfielder and former Sheffield United loanee James McAtee could be on the Blues’ radar if Maresca enters the building. It is understood the Italian had shortlisted the Englishman as an option to join the Foxes in the summer but has no problems adding him to Chelsea’s wanted list.
It is also claimed the Blues are eyeing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele, who has impressed during his debut season in France.
With all that being said, football.london has you covered for all the latest Chelsea transfer news and rumours ahead of the summer window opening in less than two weeks.
