Chelsea were denied the chance to sign former Arsenal midfielder and current USMNT ace Yunus Musah in January as their plan to revamp in the middle of the park continues. The Blues are now looking at Moises Caicedo, who football.london understands is the priority target.
This comes after a deal to sign Sporting CP anchor Manuel Ugarte fell through earlier this week. Romeo Lavia is another option that the club admire. With N'Golo Kante set to leave, heading to Saudi Arabia after a late offer emerged, the midfield could quickly become a problem area.
Mauricio Pochettino is keen to add depth, quality and energy to the squad and may not have much choice as the club now face the prospect of losing five midfielders with Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Denis Zakaria all set to move on from Stamford Bridge.
