Arsenal and Chelsea might as well share and swap the same player target shortlists, or maybe they do?
This is a joke of course, but we are seeing so many of the same names wanted by both Arsenal and Chelsea, it’s becoming a bit of a joke!
Exclusive: Chelsea hold recent contract talks with defender and plan more!
There was the Mykhailo Mudryk saga of course, where Arsenal looked like they were about to sign him and Chelsea came from nowhere to hijack the deal. More battles are set to commence this summer with a host of names being chased by both clubs.
Declan Rice looks likely to join Arsenal this summer, but he’s also been subject of heavy Chelsea interest. Then there is the Moises Caicedo situation. And now, Arsenal are apparently also interested in signing Romeo Lavia from Southampton, who has been in talks with Chelsea recently. That is at least according to the latest report from The Guardian today, who also say Arsenal want to sign Kai Havertz from Chelsea.
Absolute madness!
