Here we go… again.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have a verbal agreement with PSV for the transfer of Noni Madueke, following hot on the heels of the transfer of Mykhailo Mudryk.
Romano adds that Madueke was “strongly wanted by the Chelsea board,” and will sign a long term contract in the next few days. He is a tall, powerful winger who has impressed in the Eredivisie.
Given the amounts we’re spending at the moment, €35m feels cheap.
We have no idea how we will fit all these new players within squad registration rules, let alone keep them happy with minutes. The board must be very confident they can move on Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic, and players who previously may have felt safe like Kai Havertz must feel very much like their time is running out at Chelsea.
We still hope to see a central midfielder and a right back signed this January.
