Impressive Premier League star to make stunning Chelsea return?
Chelsea could look into the idea of bringing Tariq Lamptey back to Stamford Bridge this
transfer window.
The Blues have one of the very best squads in the Premier League and will be tipped to
challenge Manchester City for that title, but a couple of injuries over the past few
months could cause Thomas Tuchel some issues.
The German boss said himself at the start of the month that he was not planning a busy
transfer window, but confirmation that Ben Chilwell needs surgery, and the recent injury
to Reece James means that he may need to delve into that transfer kitty after all.
And IcFootballnews has learned that he may be interested in bringing back the highly-sought
after Brighton star Lamptey.
The 21 year-old, who made his senior debut for Chelsea in the Premier League back in
December 2019, was one of the most highly-rated players at the Bridge, but Chelsea decided
to cash-in knowing they already had Reece James in their ranks.
It has been no surprise to see that Lamptey has gone on to develop into one of the best
right-backs in the Premier League, despite the fact that he has been plagued by injuries
over the last 12 months, and he has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal.
But Chelsea inserted a buy-back clause in the contract of Lamptey when he departed the
club, and considering they admire the player, are reportedly looking into taking him back
to cover James, and then maybe challenge the England International.
There is no doubt that Lamptey is destined for one of the big clubs in England, he has
some serious potential guys, so it will be interesting to see if Chelsea do make a move
as the lad does have the quality to play for a club like Chelsea.
The transfer window has re-opened its doors once more giving clubs another opportunity
to strengthen their respective squads, and with the fact that Chelsea need to reignite
their season, Thomas Tuchel needs to fresh un the squad.
Manchester City are winning on a weekly basis, while Chelsea are not, and although they are
still in that Premier League title race, their results have been too inconsistent over the
past few months to give pundits cause to say they will be Champions by the end of the season.
And according to reports on the Daily Express website, Raphinha is a player that Chelsea
may look to sign over the next for weeks of business.
Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner have managed just nine goals between them
in all competitions this season, and although they have impressed at times this year, Tuchel
is not fully convinced that they have the quality to win titles
Raphinha, 25, managed six goals in his first season in the Premier League, and the Brazilian
winger has already surpassed that tally in the current campaign after netting eight times.
He has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool over the past few months, as they
need to cover AFCON, but with funds tight over at Anfield, they may not be looking to
splash the £30,40 or even £50 million it could take to land the Brazilian.
Wow if this report is true and Raphinha is a player that Chelsea are interested in, he
would be a great signing.
He really should be at a bigger club.
However, it’s more than likely that any move for the player would take place in the
summer, as Leeds will not want to lose him in the coming weeks
Thomas Tuchel may seek to find an immediate replacement for the injured Ben Chilwell,
and reports suggest he is interested in Barcelona wing-back Sergio Dest
The start of the New Year in football signifies the opening of the transfer window and after
the past month of struggle for Chelsea, it might be a bit busier than anticipated for
Tuchel
The German boss said himself at the start of the month that he was not planning a busy
transfer window, but confirmation that Ben Chilwell needs surgery, and will be out until
the new year means that he needs to add to that back-line.
There has been a number of players linked with a transfer move to the Bridge, and the
latest name to to linked is that of Dest.
The right-sided defender, that can operate on the left, has become a reported target
of the Blues as the board know Barcelona need funds in order to buy the quality of player
Xavi needs to get the club back to the top of the game.
He is not the big time signing that most fans would like, but with Chilwell coming back
in the summer, he is just needed as a short-term solution.
Losing Chilwell for the rest of the season is a massive blow to this Chelsea squad and
Tuchel will know that he will need to make the right transfer calls, or it could scupper
his season.
Dest is a high-quality defender that has the versatility to be a real asset to this Chelsea
squad, so if they managed to get a deal for the right price, he could be a very good signing
for the club.
