Breaking news out of the blue tonight Chelsea fans, is that Chelsea have an agreement in place for Leeds United winger Raphinha!
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have reached a ‘full agreement’ with Leeds for Raphinha.
The official bid has been accepted by Leeds for £60-65m (including add-ons).
The final part is now agreeing the personal terms with the player, with discussions ongoing.
Wow, just wow! I don’t think any Chelsea fan was expecting to see this pop up on their twitter feed tonight.
I think this will be a great signing for Chelsea – he knows the league well and technically is very good.
It seems Boehly is working very hard behind the scenes to deliver the assets to Tuchel ahead of the new season.
Reports mention Chelsea fought off competition from Arsenal, Barcelona and Tottenham, with Barca’s his preferred destination, but the Spanish side couldn’t meet Leeds demands.
And it seems Chelsea aren’t done yet in the attacking areas, with the west London side confident about closing in on a deal for Man City’s Raheem Sterling.
Exciting times ahead!
