Chelsea transfer target Rafael Leao has added yet more fuel to the fire over the potential for a move to Stamford Bridge in the transfer window. The Portugal international has flirted with the idea of a switch to west London on several occasions since being linked.
A huge deal was rumoured over the summer transfer window, but that didn't materialise as his contract continues to dwindle at AC Milan. Since then, Leao has continued to impress in Serie A and now at the World Cup for Portugal, scoring two goals in limited game time.
“You can see Leao’s quality and skills, it’s obvious," Head coach Graham Potter said on the winger when facing him in the Champions League earlier this season. “But he is part of a strong team. We have to respect that [he is under contract].”
