Chelsea look to have received mixed news regarding Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling as the Blues prepare to make their moves once the Romelu Lukaku Inter Milan situation is sorted out.
Whilst defence is a key area of this summer's £200million squad rebuild, the attack is another area of concern with Lukaku's departure creating a big void that needs to be filled. Not only this, but the likes of Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech are reportedly not happy with their own situations at the club. Obviously, not all three attackers will be sold in the forthcoming weeks due to the unique 2022/23 season that will stretch Thomas Tuchel's squad to the max but at least one could depart if attacking reinforcements were to be brought in this summer.
Amid links to the likes of Ousmane Dembele and Christopher Nkunku, two Premier League wingers are also reportedly being looked at as the Blues look to poach at least one of Man City's forwards following the arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez in east Manchester. Having already, by the looks of it, been defeated in their pursuit of Gabriel Jesus at the hands of Arsenal, who are expected to wrap up a £50m deal soon, the Blues need to get back into the thick of things and it seems as though their interest in one forward, in particular, is legitimate if The Athletic's latest report is to be believed.
