£250,000-a-week star makes Chelsea transfer decision – Tuchel admits he wants midfielder
signed – Chelsea make offer fro striker
Ousmane Dembele has made a decision about joining Chelsea – Thomas Tuchel wants Jorginho
to be handed contract – Chelsea make Edwards offer in Chelsea news of the day…
Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele has reportedly made a transfer decision about joining the
likes of Chelsea in the summer.
The France forward, 24, has failed to agree a new contract at the Nou Camp, with his current
deal set to expire this summer, and that has led to alot of speculation that he could come
to the Premier League.
Chelsea were very much interested in getting some kind of transfer deal done, especially
after the Spanish club told him he could leave in the January transfer window after failing
to agree that new contract.
The Blues may be in the midst of a takeover bid from numerous outfits – but it is still
expected that players will be signed during the summer transfer window and a contract
will be handed to Dembele.
But Dembele has now rejected a Chelsea move, according to reports.
Spanish outlet SPORT claimed in February that the Blues tried to sign the Frenchman.
Journalist Carlo Matallanas has told El Larguero, as relayed by AS, that Dembele has turned
his nose up at a switch to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
It would be an interesting signing for Chelsea, as we would all be interested to see just
how he would manage to play in the Premier League when he has been unable to succeed
in La Liga.
He could be a world class player, but we firmly believe that he would not be able to make
an impact for Chelsea, he is not the same player.
So maybe it is a good thing that he is rejecting a move to Stamford Bridge, as it will give
Chelsea more funds to go out and land that world class striker that they need to score
20 goals a season.
But as we said – this will be an interesting one to keep an eye on.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have made contact with Arsenal Under-18’s star striker Khayon Edwards
over a transfer in the summer.
Edwards has been in the headlines alot over the past few weeks as Arsenal have been trying
to hand the exciting young striker a new contract to keep him at the club.
He has 17 goals and six assists in 22 games this season at all levels, impressively getting
a goal every game in the U18s Premier League, but the Gunners have so far been unable to
hand him a new contract.
It is unclear why he has been unable to agree anything – but it could be the fact that
the club cannot guarantee him a path to the first team like they have with the likes of
Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka in recent seasons.
There are a number of German clubs watching the teenager closely and considering making
a move, but according to reports on the goal website, Chelsea have now made their moves
to try and get a transfer deal done.
Despite the fact that Chelsea have been unable to conclude any transfer business because
of the sanctions on owner Roman Abramovic, that has not stopped all the speculation about
what type of platers could be signed by the club.
It is very easy to see why Edwards is in the media alot as he really is an exciting young
talent.
However, even though Chelsea have a habit of giving young talents a chance in the first
team – there are also a number of talents that have just been brought – shipped out
and then never seen in that Chelsea shirt again.
We d not know why Arsenal cannot agree a new deal with Edwards, but he needs to make the
right choice about where he goes next as it could make or break his footballing career.
