Chelsea want to sign another young centre back with Marc Guehi, Jorrel Hato and Jarrad Brathwaite players they like according to Sky Sports.
The Blues are once again set for a busy summer and could look to sell as many as seven or eight players in order to fund their business.
Chelsea have already secured their first summer signing with Liam Delap set to undergo his medical on Sunday, but the club are still looking for a centre back and right footed attacker.
Chelsea like Branthwaite, Hato and Guehi
With a striker secured the Blues can turn their attention to the other end of the pitch, and there’s set to be plenty of movement at centre back.
Renato Veiga, Axel Disasi and Trevoh Chalobah are reportedly likely targets to leave, whilst Chelsea had identified Dean Huijsen as their main target, but the 20-year-old opted to join Real Madrid.
The Blues have a list of targets and Sky Sports have reported Chelsea want to sign another young centre back, with Guehi, Hato and Branthwaite players they like.
Chelsea are said to be considering an approach for Guehi, and they sold the 24-year-old to Crystal Palace in 2021 for £18m.
Hato is thought to be valued at around €55m and would provide much needed back-up to Marc Cucurella, but the Blues will need to act fast with Liverpool also said to be interested in the Ajax teenager.
Mamadou Sarr to arrive from Strasbourg
There’s already one centre back arriving this summer in Mamadou Sarr after they agreed a deal with Strasbourg in January.
The 19-year-old could make his debut at the Club World Cup later this month, but it’s unclear what Chelsea’s plans are for the youngster next season.
The Blues have so many centre backs on their books, and the picture will only become clearer once it’s been decided who will leave.
Keep chalobah …. Brantwaite with Hato not bad . Guehi good too especially his Chelsea graduates . It will be nice to see 3 CBs is playing for the Chelsea and they’re Chelsea graduates . Hato should be sign and between guehi or brantwaite to follow . But Chelsea FC is playing UCL they need experience quality players to mix with young team . Look at PSG they were blend with youngsters and experience players . Good luck to Chelsea FC and God bless the club .
A left back to deputise Cucu is seriously needed hence, #Hato should be priotise then Guehi should follow whiles keeping Chalobah. Fofana should fix his fitness issues or get sold the next transfer window (January).
Whichever way this transfer market goes, Chelsea MUST get a world class goalkeeper, a left back, a seasoned central back, a prolific striker and get an attacking midfielder.
