Chelsea could yet complete a remarkable double transfer this summer as two of their main midfield targets remain in the balance. With a potential five sales in the position, reinforcements are certainly needed and the activity so far has only backed that up.
First Chelsea pushed hard to rival Paris Saint-Germain for the signing of Manuel Ugarte but fell foul to a last minute U-turn and shake up with issues regarding wages and price. Even before that deal football.london believed Moises Caicedo to be of top priority and attempts since then have only strengthened that case.
The Brighton midfielder is expected to leave the club after manager Roberto De Zerbi extended his pardon to the player towards the end of the season. Having signed for less than £5million, no matter what sum the Seagulls receive it will be a massive return on their investment.
