With Romelu Lukaku set to leave the club this summer, Chelsea are being heavily linked to signing two wide attackers.
Here’s the latest…
Could Chelsea already be in talks to sign Declan Rice from West Ham?
On Saturday evening Chelsea have been strongly linked with two wide attacking players, and it looks like it could be a case of signing them both rather than just one, dependent on Lukaku and other departures of course.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano tweeted the latest on Chelsea’s interest in Raheem Sterling yesterday, confirming him as a real target this summer.
Raheem Sterling, for sure one of the names on Chelsea list with Thomas Tuchel big fan of the English winger. Chelsea have explored conditions of the deal 🔵 #CFC
No direct talks between Man City and Chelsea or bid yet. Depends on other deals like Lukaku, Ousmane and more. https://t.co/c5QmbERg9m

And then the reliable Andy Dillon of The Sun was positive on Ousmane Dembele to Chelsea this summer, which possibly suggests Chelsea might try and bring in both players this summer.
Lukaku’s loan move to go back to Inter Milan looks to be progressing fast, and Thomas Tuchel will certainly need to bring in new attackers.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean Tuchel wants to get a ‘like-for-like’ replacement, hence why we are only really hearing about wide attackers.
