Latest developments with player in Club World Cup may mean Chelsea transfer is imminent | OneFootball

Some latest developments with a player in the Club World Cup this week may now mean that a transfer to Chelsea is imminent.

The news comes after Chelsea beat ES Tunis 3-0 early on Wednesday morning in the Club World Cup in America after Blues head coach Enzo Maresca named a rotated starting Xl to rest a few players.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make further checks on Portuguese international centre back!

Chelsea needed to avoid a defeat to progress to the knockout rounds of the competition, and they did that with ease in the end against an opposition that they were just much better than in terms of quality.

Marc Cucurella got a deserved rest in the game, with Josh Acheampong starting at left back instead, but before the game, the Spanish international was expecting another tough game. But it was far from that for Chelsea in the end.

Chelsea’s winger pursuit continues

They have been linked with a number of potential new names, but Chelsea continue their attempts to sign a new winger this summer transfer window.

The likes of Alejandro Garnacho is one name that gets linked a lot, but it appears that Jamie Gittens is the priority and the one that Chelsea are trying to get in the most.

Gittens pulls from Dortmund squad

Gittens may have apparently been pulled out of their squad for the clash with Ulsan HD at the Club World Cup as a move to Chelsea is imminent.

That’s at least according to Ruhr Nachrichten, who believe that talk of an “illness” keeping Gittens out may actually be a cover story.

Well, it’s a bold claim but would not be the first time something like this has happened before a player seals a transfer move away from their club.
