Chelsea told how to hijack Tottenham transfer for Antonio Conte favourite in Jude Bellingham ploy

Chelsea could be set to hijack Tottenham's transfer plans for 2023 as Graham Potter sets about implementing his own strategy in charge. Backed by Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital and a new recruitment team heading into the new year, Chelsea aren't stopping with the £250m spent over the summer.

With plans already in place to secure Christopher Nkunku, as well as the need for a new right-back, central midfielder and forward, the Blues are looking at Rafael Leao still as his contract runs down at AC Milan. That's not all for Potter though, with a new target emerging.

According to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs, their attention is set to be on the England World Cup squad. Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling and Conor Gallagher are currently there for Gareth Southgate, but 2023 target Declan Rice is also in place, as is Jude Bellingham.
