The summer transfer window often creates chances for clubs to cross paths in the pursuit of new signings to bolster their squads. For Chelsea last summer, it was Barcelona as the two sides negotiated deals between them for players, while also seemingly targeting similar stars too.
This time around, it could well be Manchester United that the Blues appear in a tussle with, having had similar areas to strengthen in. Midfield is one of those as United have made their bids for Chelsea star Mason Mount, who has just one-year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Amid a failure to reach an agreement for a switch so far in the window, the Red Devils appear to have moved on to Moises Caicedo, who football.london understands is a priority target for the Blues. There's also the forward ranks both teams are looking at, in particular at centre-forward.
