Chelsea bid £26.5m for England U21 as return for Enzo Fernandez mooted

Chelsea are proof against embarrassment as they threaten one other bid for Enzo Fernandez, whereas they’re deep in talks with PSV over their proper winger…

CHELSEA ‘CANNOT BE STOPPED’
“Conditions can come up the place golf equipment are available in with a suggestion that can’t be stopped,” mentioned PSV boss Ruud van Nistelrooy when requested about the way forward for Noni Madueke.

Unsurprisingly, it’s Chelsea chasing the England U21 worldwide, who grew up in London and hung out in each the Tottenham and Crystal Palace academies earlier than transferring to PSV in 2018. He’s acquired 20 objectives and 14 assists in 79 appearances for the Eredivisie aspect since breaking into the primary staff in 2020, enjoying predominantly on the best wing.

The Blues have reportedly been eyeing Madueke for a while and the Every day Mail now declare they’ve ‘stepped up their efforts’ and have made a gap bid of £26.5m for the 20-year-old.

The report claims he’s well-known to Potter, with recruitment analyst Kyle Macaulay and Director of International Expertise and Transfers Paul Winstanley figuring out Madueke as a goal earlier than they adopted the supervisor from Brighton to Chelsea.

Madueke would be a part of fellow forwards David Datro Fofana and Joao Felix who’ve already made the transfer to Stamford Bridge this month.

ENZO RETURN
Chelsea’s new switch staff seem proof against embarrassment. Switch hijacks apart, which make it look as if they’re scuring gossip columns like the remainder of us, the Enzo Fernandez debacle didn’t recommend a degree of professionalism one would possibly anticipate for such an expensively assembled staff of switch gurus.

Benfica boss Roger Schmidt said they “disrespected” the club by making Enzo “crazy” having mentioned they might meet his £106m launch clause when the Blues actually had no plans to take action. Benfica advised them the place to go.

And but, in accordance with The Telegraph, Chelsea have ‘not dominated out making a second bid’ for the World Cup winner. We propose until that bid is £106m they actually shouldn’t hassle. That report claims Brighton’s Moises Caicedo is one other potential recruit for the Blues.

TROSSARD ‘HUMILIATION’
Oh, Leandro. He was the belle of the ball a few months in the past – scoring objectives and catching eyes. Now he’s been banished from the Brighton first staff and curiosity in him has dimmed.

Newcastle have been considered eager heading into the January window, however have been not sure over signing a 28-year-old as they give the impression of being to land youthful targets and it seems the Belgium worldwide’s tiff with supervisor Roberto De Zerbi has resulted within the Magpies backing off fully.

The Every day Mail declare ‘character is a huge factor’ for recruiters at Newcastle and studies of Trossard storming out of coaching don’t scream staff participant.

His agent has a released a statement claiming Trossard feels “humiliated” and {that a} January switch is the “most handy resolution”.

Tottenham (and Chelsea, clearly) are nonetheless considered eager on Trossard, whose contract extension was triggered by Brighton final week, which means he has 18 months left on his deal on the Amex.
