Arsenal could be set to hand Chelsea a major blow in their mission to sign a new midfielder before the summer transfer window slams shut this evening. Thomas Thomas has been in the market for a long-term replacement of either Jorginho and N'Golo Kante, who each see their contracts at Stamford Bridge expire next year.
However, despite the Blues' boss' wishes, Todd Boehly has signed just two midfielders this term of little experience; one of whom has been steered into the development squad - Cesare Casadei - and the other - Carney Chukwuemeka - is yet to feature for the first-team. But, the west Londoners have unleashed a late ploy yo finally grant Tuchel his wish.
According to Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink, Chelsea have turned their attention to PSV Eindhoven midfielder Ibrahim Sangare late in the window. The 24-year-old, who enjoyed a superb campaign in the Eredivisie last season alongside Cody Gakpo, has quickly become heavily linked with a move to west London, though he's been subject to great interest from other Premier League clubs beforehand.
