Footballing icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already given his verdict and approval on Rafael Leao as Chelsea plot an ambitious £80million swoop for the AC Milan star.
The Blues are in the process of trying to end the summer transfer window with a bang and new owner and interim Sporting Director Todd Boehly has been tasked with backing manager Thomas Tuchel with signings that will propel the west Londoners into the title conversation. After a start to the season that has garnered a total of four points so far from nine available, Chelsea's woes have been a mixture of midfield instability, attacking bluntness, defensive frailties and poor mentality, as demonstrated most recently at Elland Road over the weekend.
Once the Blues go a goal down, Tuchel's side over recent times have never been able to fight their way back into things. A certain trait that will ensure Chelsea are one of the busiest teams in the transfer market from now to September 1. "I think you do, all of you, make the mistake, and I feel it that they run 11km more, and we lose 3-0. It is a set piece, and a huge mistake and only one team should have led 1-0, and that was us. So everybody knows that they run more. It is nothing to do with mentality," Tuchel said on the mentality issue in the post-match press conference.
