Newcastle and Arsenal named as interested clubs with Chelsea ready to sell regular starter | OneFootball

Chelsea are ready to sell one of their regular starting players this summer and Premier League rivals Newcastle and Arsenal are keen.

Chelsea beat Benfica in the first set of knockout rounds in the Club World Cup on Saturday night, but it was far from easy and also, very far from drama!

Sources: Chelsea still looking to sign West Ham star despite agreeing deal to bring Joao Pedro in!

Enzo Maresca labelled it a joke that the game got suspended for two hours due to sever weather conditions and slammed the tournament location as a result, and he really does have a point here.

And then came a flurry of late goal with Benfica equalising deep into stoppage time through a penalty to send it into extra time. Chelsea then bagged a bunch of goals to go on and win the game before it got to penalties!

Blues getting busy

Chelsea are finally heating up now in the transfer market this summer with a couple of agreed deals confirmed in the last couple of days. It looks like Jamie Gittens of Dortmund, and Joao Pedro of Brighton, are both set to join the club.

And it looks like there could be more new arrivals coming in too, but these may well depend on what offers Chelsea get for their own players and the outgoing moves they make now.

For the right price, it seems that winger Noni Madueke, who is a regular starter under Enzo Maresca, is available for transfer this summer.

The Guardian are reporting that Chelsea are open to suitable offers for Noni Madueke this window.

And as well as that, The Telegraph report Madueke has attracted interest this summer, including from Arsenal – and potentially Newcastle.

A lot of noise around on this one.
