Chelsea are interested in signing a “young Premier League rival centre-back” according to Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports tonight.
The reporter was on their “transfer centre” show and made the bold claim that we’re looking at at “£50m” defender to shore up our back line. He gave plenty of clues, but didn’t reveal the name. Once again, we warn you that this is all likely just a SkyBet drive for cash, so take it with a big pinch of salt.
But what is the transfer window for if not for tantalising quotes like these?
