Ibrahim Sangare has quickly become heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in the final hours of the transfer window.
Todd Boehly has signed just two midfielders this summer, and both of little experience. One of whom has been steered into the development squad - Cesare Casadei - and the other - Carney Chukwuemeka - is yet to feature for the first team.
But, the west Londoners have unleashed a late ploy to finally sign Thomas Tuchel a midfielder. While the Blues have a wealth of options, only two are currently match-fit as it stands - Billy Gilmour and Chukwuemeka.
