At this stage, some of the recent rumours about players coming to Chelsea have been repeated so many times that it feels like they’re already part of the team – but nothing is official yet.
That’s why it’s nice to have a bit of a fresh rumour doing the rounds, to give us all something a little different to think about as our other moves seem frozen by the managerial deadlock.
Football.London have a report today that the Blues are looking at Filip Benkovic as the latest young talent to add to their squad.
The 20 year old Dinamo Zagreb centre back is the latest solid Croatian prospect, and he’s already racked up quite a lot of appearances for his club’s senior side.
He’s valued at £9.9m on Transfermarkt.
Chelsea are always looking to pick up talented youngsters to go at least loan out, and if this report is anything to go by, Benkovic could soon be joining them.
