Welcome to the latest Chelsea transfer blog, brought to you by football.london on Wednesday, June 25.
The Blues enjoyed a good start to the summer transfer window by completing the signing of Liam Delap. The striker joined Enzo Maresca’s side after the club triggered the £30million release clause in his contract.
And the former Ipswich Town star got off the mark for Maresca’s men with the Blues’ second goal in their 3-0 win over ES Tunis overnight. The victory has sealed a runner-up spot in Group D.
Further additions are anticipated at Stamford Bridge. As well as another striker, Chelsea want to sign a right-footed left-winger to replace Jadon Sancho, who has returned to Manchester United, and Mykhailo Mudryk, who was charged by the English Football Association for violating its anti-doping rules.
Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens continues to be linked with a move to west London with reports today suggesting that a move for the English winger could be done imminently. The 20-year-old is set on moving to Chelsea with a seven-year deal understood to be in place.
In terms of outgoings, Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson have both been linked with moves away. Nkunku is understood to have interest from United with Alejandro Garnacho reportedly keen to come the other way.
So, with that being said, stay with at football.london as we bring you all the latest Chelsea news and transfer gossip…
