Chelsea transfers analysed as Chalobah exit nears and £9m agreement close

Chelsea are just over two weeks away from the summer transfer window opening and they are yet to hire a new manager. Although the first-team head coach vacancy is soon to be filled, there is plenty of work to be done before things are in shape for the new season.

The Blues will be preparing their squad for the tour of America in a little over one month’s time without the advice of a manager as Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley (co-sporting directors) continue on their mission to deliver the best young players in the world. The brief for the incoming boss will be not to advise on these targets but simply to use the ones given to them.




It is a system that saw Mauricio Pochettino frustrated with a lack of senior options being pursued. How the next manager deals with it may well be central to whether they go on to last longer than the third permanent Chelsea head coach of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership.

Here, football.london brings a take on the latest on the news around Chelsea.

Chalobah impact

Chelsea have made late contact with Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo over a possible summer move, Sky Sports suggests. The player is set to leave Craven Cottage at the end of his contract next month.

He has been attracting interest from Newcastle, Tottenham, and Manchester United but Chelsea are said to have offered the 26-year-old a deal themselves. It comes with his past in the Manchester City academy overlapping with that of Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia, and also incoming head coach Enzo Maresca.
