“Ready to attack” – Fabrizio Romano names Premier League star Chelsea are ready to sign | OneFootball

Chelsea have enquired about the situation surrounding Arsenal forward Ethan Nwaneri according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues have already been busy this summer, and have signed Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro, whilst bringing another attacker in hasn’t been ruled out.

Chelsea are also said to be in the market for a centre back, whilst they need to move a number of players on who are surplus to requirements.

In order for another forward to arrive one of the current crop will have to leave, and it looks likely to be Noni Madueke.

Madueke has agreed personal terms with Arsenal, and the Gunners are thought to be preparing their opening offer for the 23-year-old.

Chelsea hold interest in West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, but it appears the Blues are interested in Arsenal’s England under-21 international Nwaneri.

The Blues tried to sign Nwaneri in 2023, and he’s now into the final year of his contract with the Gunners, but talks have stalled, and Romano has provided an update on the situation.

“Chelsea, in the last 24 hours have inquired about Ethan Nwaneri’s situation,” he told his YouTube channel.

“Something like if there are problems over game time or his contract with Arsenal, Chelsea will be ready to make a proposal.
