Chelsea have been labelled as favourites to land RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol should they activate his £97million release clause. The Croatian defender was one of the stand-out performers at the Qatar World Cup in 2022 and has been linked with a big-money move to the Premier League.
The Blues have endured a hectic January transfer window this month with six signings added to Graham Potter’s squad, with close to £200m spent. Joao Felix, Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk have been the stand-out additions with Benoit Badiashile also impressing in his first two appearances.
Todd Boehly has been tipped to make a late attempt to sign a new midfielder before the window slams shut next Tuesday, with the area of the field desperate for bodies on the back of N'Golo Kante's lengthy absence.
