Chelsea’s huge 11-man summer transfer shortlist is wild but still underwhelming in areas | OneFootball

Chelsea’s summer transfer shortlist has been revealed by one outlet this week and it is huge, as well as a bit underwhelming in areas.

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.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea eye move for Kevin De Bruyne!

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.

Chelsea are back in action against Everton this Saturday but attentions are already turning towards the summer transfer window. The Blues have a big shortlist, as reported by Sky Sports this week.

Some underwhelming names

According to the report from Sky, this is Chelsea’s transfer shortlist for the summer of 2025:

Strikers: – Liam Delap – Victor Osimhen – Hugo Ekitike – Benjamin Sesko – Jonathan David

Wingers: – Nico Williams – Jamie Gittens – Alejandro Garnacho

Centre-backs: – Dean Huijsen – Jarrad Branthwaite – Marc Guehi

It goes on to say that Chelsea are tracking some of Europe’s best centre-backs and attackers in an effort to try and complete some deals before they play at this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup.

In what looks set to be another busy summer at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are targeting the arrivals of a forward, a winger and a central defender.

Some of these names are not much more than average players in my opinions and do not elevate Chelsea.
