Chelsea have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of RB Leipzig and Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol, according to reports. It comes ahead of a January transfer window that could prove pivotal to the club's project under the new ownership as well as manager Graham Potter.
A switch for the 20-year-old would fit in with the new regime's desire to sign youngsters and develop them into superstars for years to come. That vision set out by the club is something that got the head coach on board, claiming when he joined: "It’s the start of a really exciting period.
"New ownership, who I was really really excited with and impressed by, firstly as people and their vision for the club, what they wanted to do. Of course the history of the club speaks for itself, but it’s [also] about creating that in our own way"
