We try to avoid using words like stunning in our headlines as they’re so overused as to be meaningless, but this one has really knocked us for six.
Fabrizio Romano has just dropped an exclusive on his Twitter, claiming that Chelsea are “in advanced talks” to sign Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig – for an incredible €90m.
This is so shocking for a few reason. Firstly the price, secondly the fact that he would stay on loan in the Bundesliga for a year, and thirdly because it’s come from nowhere.

We had heard whispers about our interest in Gvardiol months ago, but that was before we signed Kalidou Koulibaly, and had a deal agreed for Wesley Fofana.
The fact that the Croatian international will be coming in too really is surprising – and we quite like the idea of him staying put with his current team for a year to keep developing.
