Chelsea are always looking for strong young talents to bring into the club, even if to loan them out and later sell. Marseille midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, key to their 2-1 comeback win over Nice last night.
He’s valued at €12m by TransferMarkt, and even if it cost €20m to buy him, if he continues to play at this level, that will prove to be a low estimate. He’s 22 and already a good Ligue 1 defensive midfielder, and Chelsea could easily find him a Premier League loan where he could continue to develop his skills.

Of course there’s a strong chance he won’t make it to the level required to play for Chelsea’s first team – few players do. But the chances of him continuing his upward progress, and guaranteeing Chelsea at least a profit on their investment, is strong, and the chance to take advantage of that shouldn’t be missed.
A rising tide floats all boats.
