The last couple of days have seen a resurfacing of rumours about Hungarian defender Attila Szalai joining Chelsea.
Initially word bubbled up a few weeks ago, with sudden reports of a January deal already completed. But the big names of transfer rumours didn’t say anything on it, and it quickly vanished once again.
The last few days saw them return with a bang however, as his national team manager said that he thought his player was indeed making the move.
But now Matt Law, who covers Chelsea for the Daily Telegraph, has really shut the whole thing down again by saying that he’s not even currently “a player of interest to Chelsea.”
Chelsea do not have a deal agreed to sign Attila Szalai in January or the summer – despite what the Hungarian coach might think. Told he's not currently a player of interest to #cfc

That’s what we suspected – it seems more than anything like his national team manager read the same rumours we all saw. Law has contacts at the club , and if they shut the deal down this firmly, we are happy to assume it’s not happening.
