Chelsea take the lead in race for highly rated EPL centre back who seriously considers Blues | OneFootball

Chelsea have taken the lead in the race to sign a highly rated English Premier League centre back who is seriously considering The Blues.

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.

We are starting to hear now about a lot of potential transfer moves for Chelsea in the coming summer window, and we know they are set to be very busy.

Chelsea are keen on signing Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, and The Independent have a very positive update on that today.

They report that Chelsea have taken a lead in the pursuit of Huijsen as they hope to complete a deal before the Club World Cup.

The 19-year-old is understood to now be seriously considering Chelsea, who are one of many major clubs pursuing the centre-back.
