In what has been an extremely frustrating transfer window for Chelsea supporters, there is now a sense of real excitement with less than a month remaining. It's been a summer of missing out on targets for the Blues, with Barcelona hijacking deals for both Raphinha and Jules Kounde.
Now, though, Chelsea are looking to become like Barcelona and hijack a couple of deals from their Premier League rivals. The Blues, on Tuesday evening, submitted a bid in the region of £50million to Brighton for Marc Cucurella.
football.london understands the Blues have already agreed on personal terms with the Spaniard and have now matched Brighton's asking price. It remains to be seen how the Seagulls respond to the latest offer for Cucurella, but it's the price they asked Manchester City to pay earlier in the summer before talks broke down with the Premier League champions.
