Although Chelsea are competing with Arsenal and Liverpool for the transfers of some of the most admired young midfielders on the planet and there is a risk of missing out on their first-choice targets, there is an upside for the Blues. Such is the current state of the market and the financial strain on clubs, plus attention on FFP (Financial Fair Play), Chelsea are sure to remain in the conversation.
Be it Enzo Fernandez (wanted by Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City), Moises Caicedo (a firm target for Arsenal and Liverpool) or Declan Rice (Arsenal and Liverpool once more) there are plenty of players to go around, so to speak. Although Chelsea themselves are keen to sign at least two midfielders between now and next season it will be hard to get two of that esteemed set.
That doesn't mean there aren't other options though, with Edson Alvarez still of interest, Romeo Lavia on the radar and even Sheffield United's Sander Berge. There will undoubtedly be even more being considered at this point too.
