An exciting exclusive for Chelsea fans this morning claims they are trying to sign Dean Huijsen in time for the Club World Cup this summer.
The Blues came from a goal down to score two very late goals to win the game 2-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon in what was a very dramatic game of ups and downs. But for 80 minutes, it was a lot of downs for Chelsea and the woes were continuing. Thankfully, they managed to get two late goals from individual brilliance to win the game.
Still, manager Enzo Maresca did not celebrate the Chelsea win over with the away fans like all the players did at the end of the game, which was very odd. But he has explained his reasoning for this in the post match press conference, although it wont wash.
The fans were furious throughout most of the game though and certainly let the manager and the players know this at half time and throughout the game. Pedro Neto responded to the fan anger in his post-match comments after the game on Sunday.

The report says that while Chelsea’s interest in Dean Huijsen is not new, the idea is that he could play for the London club even in the Club World Cup , for which a transfer window is specifically opened for participating clubs.
It would be some coup if Chelsea manage to pull this signing off at all let alone in time for the Club World Cup, but they are certainly working on doing that right now.
