Fofana signs, De Jong deal: Boehly can gift Tuchel perfect Chelsea team with £180m transfer raid

Todd Boehly could grant Thomas Tuchel his perfect Chelsea starting-eleven with the signings of Wesley Fofana, Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The trio have been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as the Blues look to narrow the gap with runaway Premier League title contenders Liverpool and Manchester City.

The west Londoners have already welcomed five new faces to the club this summer. Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina, who has returned to the MLS on loan, have cost Chelsea an eye-watering fee in the region of £170million.

But, despite the window slamming shut in just a couple of weeks, the Blues look well positioned to make a few more additions. football.london understand that Chelsea are currently holding talks with Fofana's representatives over a potential move, with a fee yet to be agreed upon with Leicester City.
