Sky Sports: Leicester City player not a Chelsea target – Three others named instead | OneFootball

Sky Sports claim that one Leicester City player is not a Chelsea target and instead names three others that are as alternatives.

This news comes after Chelsea got a vital three points on Friday night against Manchester United in what was a crucial win for the race for Champions League football next season.

One Chelsea legend Gary Cahill was at the match and he has hailed one key player in the game as being one of the best in Europe after his influence on the match.

Cahill wasn’t the only one praising this player as well, with team mate Pedro Neto joining in and picking up on the character of the Chelsea hero from Friday night.

Chelsea will now move on to their final league game of the season next weekend away at Nottingham Forest, and it’s another game they have to win the secure Champions League qualification.

Sky Sports have thrown shade over a transfer rumour this week linking Chelsea to a Leicester City defender who has been on loan with Oxford United this season.

They say that Ben Nelson is not a Chelsea target. Chelsea will sign a centre back this summer, but the 21-year-old is not currently under consideration.

Three players named on shortlist instead

According to the same report,

Chelsea’s centre back shortlist includes players such as Jorrel Hato, Marc Guehi and Jarrad Branthwaite.

These are the kind of players Chelsea will be hoping to sign in the summer, but in the meantime, their focus is on the final games of the season – and not transfers, says Sky Sports.
