Chelsea are stepping up their activity in the summer market as they enter one transfer battle after another.
Boss Thomas Tuchel and the club’s new American owner Todd Boehly, having seemingly secured Raheem Sterling from Manchester City in a £50million deal, are now in the thick of a scrap with Manchester United.
Not only are do the Blues remain Cristiano Ronaldo’s only obvious destination as he attempts to dig himself out of his hole at Old Trafford but the Londoners are also being linked with a late hijack of Reds target Frenkie de Jong. Boehly made a very public trip to Barcelona on Thursday, seemingly to discuss player-plus -cash exchange deals with the Spanish club - and Dutch midfielder de Jong apparently on the agenda.
