There are rumours that Marc Cucurella to Chelsea could be announced before the Blues kick off their Premier League season against Everton this weekend.
This comes after agreements are made involving the left-back and Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill heading to the AMEX Stadium on loan. Despite Brighton's statement denying any premature agreement, manager Graham Potter left the Spaniard out of team training on Thursday ahead of their clash against Man United on the weekend.
Hours after that decision, the Athletic amongst others reported that the Blues will be paying a £62million package for the former Getafe man whilst 19-year-old Colwill will be going on loan to the south coast. football.london understands that the Blues' interest in the soon-to-be fifth recruit of the summer stems back all the way to his Getafe days, so no wonder they may have paid a little other the odds to convince the Seagulls to sell only after one season.
