Gvardiol hint
RB Leipzig star Josko Gvardiol has dropped a huge transfer hint regarding a potential move to Chelsea in the near future following another dominating display for Croatia at the World Cup.

There has been plenty of speculation surrounding the future of Gvardiol and the man himself has now delivered a huge update on his future with Chelsea at the forefront of the rumours.
