Real Madrid rival Graham Potter's dream £40m transfer as Chelsea risk midfield misery repeat

Real Madrid look armed and ready to hijack another of Chelsea's midfield transfer plans ahead of January. Aurelien Tchouameni was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer, but due to the Blues' reluctancy to wrap up a deal early, the Spanish giants swooped in and signed the 22-year-old instead while Chelsea went through a takeover process.

The west Londoners have been left to rue the decision not to sign the midfielder, with N'Golo Kante and Jorginho set to leave the club once their deals expire at the end of the season. With Graham Potter in the market for reinforcements, Chelsea have expressed an interest in Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes, according to the Evening Standard.

However, Todd Boehly is said to face great competition for the Brazil international from Los Blancos, who are also eyeing a move. The 24-year-old joined the Magpies in the summer for £40million and have will have four years remaining his on his deal in the summer.
