As the January transfer window edges closer, the talk of a potential Bruno Guimaraes exit hots up once again. Reports earlier this week suggested this time around it is Chelsea seeking to steal the Brazilian away from Newcastle United.
The Blues are looking for a new powerhouse in the middle of the park, with N'Golo Kante no longer at the peak of his powers in west London. Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic are permanent fixtures in Graham Potter's midfield, while Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are trying to forge their way into the fold on a regular basis.
Guimaraes ' arrival at Stamford Bridge would no doubt elevate Chelsea 's chances of domestic and European glory in the short and long-term. However, no matter how grand new owner Todd Boehly's plans are, the Toon hero doesn't feel like a smart transfer target to exert too much energy on.
