    After Liverpool and Manchester City drew Bukayo Saka discloses what was stated in the Arsenal locker room.Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has shared his thoughts on Liverpool and Manchester City’s tie.

    Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has disclosed that his team’s 1-0 victory over Brentford was motivated by Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold gave the Reds a point at the Etihad Stadium with a goal ten minutes remaining in normal time in a match that resumed Premier League action after the international break.

    With the outcome, Jurgen Klopp’s team trailed City by one point heading into Saturday’s later kickoffs. But after Kai Havertz’s header in the 89th minute gave Arsenal the hard-fought victory at Brentford, they dropped from second to third.

    Speaking to Football, the Gunners currently occupy the top spot in the table, one point ahead of City and two ahead of Liverpool.Saka stated in the pre-game team discussion that the outcome of the early kickoff proved to be an additional impetus for London.

    The England winger responded, “Yeah, and what a game by the way,” when asked if he witnessed the match at Etihad Stadium. “I saw that game; it was incredibly well done, and we were happy with the draw, of course.

    “We all knew, and the boys mentioned it during the team meeting, that we had the opportunity to win the league, so we seized it. So, we’re content.”

    After overcoming a 2-1 deficit to secure a crucial victory away at Tottenham Hotspur, who were fourth early in the day, Aston Villa is now tied for fourth place with the Reds.

    The Premier League’s next team to visit Anfield is Fulham. The Liverpool medical staff and manager Jurgen Klopp will be keenly awaiting any updates regarding Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota, who sustained injuries against City.

    The Reds’ first game of the week is a Thursday home Europa League matchup against LASK.

    Liverpool has set their sights on Sao Paulo’s Lucas Beraldo, a young player, as they attempt to bolster their defence.

    Brazil has great expectations for the 20-year-old, and he might end up being a valuable long-term addition to the Premier League team.

    It’s no secret that Liverpool needs defence reinforcements, and the 20-year-old Joel Matip replacement may be the best option in the long run. Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are the team’s only other trustworthy central defenders at the moment.

    According to a UOL report, Liverpool is the front-runners to sign the 20-year-old defender, but it’s unclear if they can finalise a deal. It will be tempting for the gifted young defender to sign with a major team like Liverpool, but it is unclear if the Premier League team can work out a deal with Sao Paulo.

    In addition to playing left-sided central defence, Beraldo can also play right-sided central defence. Additionally, his versatility allows him to play as a defensive midfielder.

    Liverpool may have made a smart investment in the 20-year-old if they can work out a fair deal with the Brazilian team for him. The defender might be a valuable long-term asset for Liverpool if he can continue to grow into a top-tier Premier League player

    Chelsea’s switch to the Arsenal star is now ‘a must’ at Stamford Bridge.

    Chelsea transfer of Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun is now “a must” at Stamford Bridge, journalist Paul Brown has told GIVEMESPORT.

    The young striker wants to be reassured at the Emirates Stadium but could be forced to leave the club.
    Chelsea transfer news – Folarin Balogun

    Xabi Alonso may have hinted at Liverpool alternative if they unable to sign Levi Colwill https://footballtopstar.com/xabi-alonso-may-have-hinted-at-liverpool-alternative-if-they-unable-to-sign-levi-colwill/
    With Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as centre-forward options for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side, Balogun will struggle to play regularly for the Gunners next season.

    According to Sky Sports, despite having plenty of cover up front, Arsenal value Balogun at around £50m, and are attracting interest from the Premier League.

    According to Football Transfers, Chelsea have opened talks with Balogun’s agent ahead of a possible move to Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window.

    The Blues have focused their recruiting efforts on attracting young talent from around the world and Balogun certainly fits that profile.

    With Chelsea having allowed Havertz and Jorginho to move to London, the west London club may be hoping their positive talks for the two players can help them in their search for Balogun.

    Balogun will no doubt want to play throughout the first team following an impressive loan season at Reims. The American forward scored 21 league goals in 34 appearances for the French club last season, according to FBref.

    What did Brown say about Balogun?
    Brown has hinted that Chelsea’s potential pursuit of Balogun could be “someone to watch” in the coming weeks.

    Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “They have already signed a player in Nicolas Jackson, who I think requires a lot to perform and does so on a regular basis.

    “Would Chelsea be able to spend a large chunk of money again on a player who may not be their first choice every week? “It really looks like a false economy for Chelsea and I’m not sure they have the money to sign two forwards who they don’t necessarily see as first choice.

    “So from that point of view it seems a bit strange. But I don’t think Chelsea would be interested in Balogun if he hadn’t been encouraged in some way. So I think this is one to watch next time.” week or so.”

    Who else are Chelsea targeting up front?
    As Brown has pointed out, former Villarreal striker Jackson has been brought to Stamford Bridge, but he is still extremely young and not a natural number nine.

    Chelsea have now been shortlisted for the striker spot under Mauricio Pochettino, according to the Evening Standard.

    The report claims that Elye Wahi and Dusan Vlahovic are the two players the Blues first came into contact with, while Rasmus Holjund and Victor Osimhenc are also admired.

    It seems that despite signing Jackson in the summer, Chelsea are still on the hunt for a new striker.

    Even though Jackson has huge potential, the club could consider finding a striker who can make an instant impression in West London.

    Christian Pulisic's replacement has already been found as the deal has been completed and the $22m transfer to Chelsea has been confirmed
    Chelsea transfer news: Christian Pulisic may be in doubt about joining AC Milan this summer following Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s announcement.

    Chelsea could be in a race against time to make two big transfers in the coming weeks. With the US pre-season tour starting in just over two weeks, the club are still trying to prepare their squad for the new season.

    Much has been said about the rampant sale of players who were integral to Thomas Tuchel’s 2021 Champions League-winning squad, but Mauricio Pochettino has little reason to back the underperforming, aging and overpaid players in that squad .

    He is now under pressure to ruin the club’s fortunes. However, he will probably have to do it without Christian Pulisic.

    The American is expected to join the players who left before him on a summer transfer from Stamford Bridge. After two seasons in football purgatory, Pulisic has entered the final twelve months of his contract.

    Interest in the 24-year-old remains high after he was set to leave the club on loan to Manchester United or AC Milan last summer.

    Juventus, Napoli, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Lyon have all clarified their positions. There is simply no shortage of potential suitors.

    However, with high salaries and a general lack of funding across Europe, it’s not easy to find clubs willing to pay big bucks for the striker.

    Like Kai Havertz, despite his troubles in England, he is an experienced player in European competition with a track record and plenty of promise. After Havertz was sold for £65m ($82m), Chelsea know the transfer market exists.

    However, with Italy strapped for cash and Pulisic entering the final year of his contract with a small fee needed to secure a profit after four seasons in West London, there is still no deal between the two clubs. Although Pulisic reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms, no such position was found between the parties.

    Given the goal of not having to take an unsatisfied player to America for pre-season, there is an upcoming timeline to complete this deal. Otherwise, Pulisic will either be left behind and stuck at Cobham or join the Tour with little hope of fitting into Pochettino’s plans.

    There have already been positive talks between the parties following the sale of Ruben Loftus-Cheek to AC Milan for £18m ($22m) and that only increases the chances that a compromise will be reached. found here.

    Christian Pulisic's replacement has already been found as the deal has been completed and the $22m transfer to Chelsea has been confirmedHowever, Milan are also looking for one of Pulisic’s USMNT teammates. According to Fabrizio Romano, they are in talks with Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah. The 20-year-old is another known target for Chelsea, who see the former Arsenal academy star as a potential addition to the squad ahead of the new season.

    He has a hefty £86m ($108.2m) release clause, but after a disappointing campaign in Spain, a move for that amount is out of the question. However, he is seen as a serious option for just £15m ($19m) after an initial offer for his services is made.

    Talks on that deal are expected to continue in the coming weeks and it leaves Chelsea with a dilemma. If they lose to Musah, not only would that cause one of their potential targets to be moved elsewhere, but it would also eat up Milan’s money which they would hopefully spend on Pulisic.

    Fabrizio Romano has said Chelsea will finalize the sale of Kai Havertz to Arsenal this week.

    He reported on Twitter that the German international has already completed the first leg of his medical to see him move to north London.

    It appears Havertz’s career at Chelsea is drawing to a close, leaving his name in history after scoring the only goal of the 2021 Champions League final.

    However, looking beyond that moment, it was a disappointing spell at Stamford Bridge for the 24-year-old, despite him being a regular.

    He spent most of the final season in charge but failed to impress as a regular goalscorer in what was generally a difficult season for the club.

    With hardly any players considered untouchable in West London this summer, the Blues were willing to listen to offers for Havertz this summer.

    Christian Pulisic transfer ‘priority’ revealed as USMNT star ‘contacted’ after Chelsea decision

    Christian Pulisic transfer ‘priority’ revealed as USMNT star ‘contacted’ after Chelsea decision
    Chelsea transfer news: The Blues are exploring new avenues to sell Christian Pulisic Crystal Palace and Lyon are the latest clubs to be linked with a move.

    Two new options for Christian Pulisic have emerged in this window as a move away from Stamford Bridge is on the cards.

    After scoring just one goal all season, the winger surpassed that tally for his national side in a single match, netting two against Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League semi-finals last week.

    It means Pulisic has now scored more goals for the USMNT than Chelsea in the league since joining in 2019.

    As the club rush to fulfill their promise to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, the 24-year-old is among the players he is preparing for an outing.

    With a group of older players set to move from Chelsea to Saudi Arabia in the coming weeks, Kai Havertz is progressing to Arsenal, Ruben Loftus-Cheek to AC Milan and Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City – and it’s all happening fast, Pulisic is in limbo.

    Mauricio Pochettino is set to take over as new manager on July 1 as preparations for next month’s US pre-season tour begin and Pulisic, whose future lies outside of SW6, is no closer to finding out. where its future lies.

    “I don’t have social media on my phone anymore, so I probably don’t see as much as you think. I don’t know what’s going on,” he said last month.

    “Sometimes people text me and say, ‘Are you going here?’ And I’m like, ‘I didn’t even know that. So they usually know more than I do.”

    Christian Pulisic transfer 'priority' revealed as USMNT star 'contacted' after Chelsea decision
    He is now on vacation after leaving the USMNT camp following the Nations League triumph.

    “Like I said, it’s in the back of my mind right now,” she said of her future. “I don’t even think about where I want to be next season, I’m focused on the national team, I want to be here, I want to win games, that’s my only goal.

    “When the time comes, I also need to rest after this, get away from the game for a bit and enjoy my break, see my family and everything. Once it’s time to make decisions and see what options I have, then I’ll take care of it, until then I’m just focused here.

    There are now new links for the 24-year-old about a move. With AC Milan currently favorites to sign for him due to their continued interest and previous talks over a deal, compatriots Napoli and Juventus are also in the mix.

    The latest links are a bit surprising though. French newspaper L’Equipe claim that Lyon are making him a priority addition to their squad.

    The Ligue 1 outfit are said to be keen to drop an American signing in their squad like Napoli and have held talks with the player to persuade him to make the move.

    Christian Pulisic transfer 'priority' revealed as USMNT star 'contacted' after Chelsea decision
    Pulisic is reportedly ready to take a significant pay cut to unlock new targets and Chelsea will only demand a transfer fee of just £20m ($24m) for him too.

    The Blues would make a profit for Pulisic if they recoup more than £12m ($15.2m) after losing after the £54m ($68.6m) transfer from Borussia Dortmund ) reportedly waived him for four years.

    There could also be a twist in this story. With Eagle Football Holdings as Lyon’s controlling shareholder, led by American businessman John Textor, it’s the same people with 45% of Crystal Palace’s shares who have been floated as a potential new club for Pulisic.

    With ambitions to play in Europe, interest from Palace may still seem unlikely, but with a transfer favored on all sides, Chelsea and Pulisic scrambling to reach a friendly decision still look set to happen.

    Chelsea gives a weak-up call to Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia incentive as Newcastle interested in £60m deal

    Christian Pulisic transfer 'priority' revealed as USMNT star 'contacted' after Chelsea decision
    Chelsea are looking for a new midfielder this summer but will need to act fast with one goal left in Mauricio Pochettino’s shortlist

    Mauricio Pocehttino has been encouraged to step up his search for a new midfielder this summer, with Newcastle expected to snatch Sandro Tonali from under Chelsea’s noses.

    The 23-year-old has been briefly linked with a Premier League move for some time now, and the Magpies appear poised to finalize a deal.

    According to The Athletic, Newcastle are close to a deal with Milan to sign Tonali for around €70m. The report said Eddie Howe’s side launched their first chase of the Italy national team earlier this week as the Blues watched from the sidelines.

    Chelsea are rumored to be interested in Tonali and, despite being on the lookout for a new midfielder, have been unable to match Newcastle for signing him.

    As a result, there is now one less player, who was in Pochettino’s squad, who can replace N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic.

    Christian Pulisic transfer 'priority' revealed as USMNT star 'contacted' after Chelsea decision
    The Magpies’ high-speed pursuit of the Italian certainly rocked West Londoners. Blink and you might miss your main focus. If Newcastle’s pursuit of Tonali has taught Chelsea anything, it’s closing a couple of deals for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia before it’s too late…

    In March, the Brighton star signed a new long-term deal that will keep him at Brighton until 2027.

    Initially, it looked like Caicedo’s extension would preclude the prospect of a future move, but that doesn’t appear to be the case for the Blues which are expected to make a move in the coming weeks.

    However, Chelsea are aware that the Ecuadorian international could cost around £100m. As for Lavia, football.london understands that the Blues are big fans of the Southampton star and have done extensive research on him.

    The 19-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in late summer – just weeks after leaving Manchester City to join the Saints – but Chelsea ultimately failed in their mission. In recent weeks it seems that Arsenal are also eyeing Lavia.

    While the Blues may have unknowingly challenged a rival to a transfer race, Todd Boehly has now raked in significant sums from several sales to secure the signing of the teenage sensation.

    Although Chelsea may have recently made a lot of purchases, it now appears that the sale of just three first-team fringe players, all of whom are headed
    Although Chelsea may have recently made a lot of purchases, it now appears that the sale of just three first-team fringe players, all of whom are headed to Saudi Arabia, will net the team at least £100 million.

    Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, and Kai Havertz, who are all headed to Arsenal, are the four first-team players that Chelsea are getting ready to part ways with for a whopping combined fee of £107 million.

    The Blues want to sell the last three to various Saudi Arabian clubs in an effort to raise enough money for Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton. Personal considerations shouldn’t be a problem for the Ecuadorian international, who is thought to be interested in the Stamford Bridge move.

    Because of the anticipated volume of sales in west London, it appears that newly appointed manager Mauricio Pochettino will have a sizeable budget to work with. Seven Chelsea regulars may all depart in the upcoming days.

    N’Golo Kante already left to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, but Matteo Kovacic is soon to be formally introduced as a Manchester City player.

    Mason Mount is a fan favorite, and Manchester United and Liverpool are both showing a lot of interest in him. Manchester United has already had two bids for the England international rejected. Mount is unlikely to play football in the capital next season, regardless of which of the two clubs he chooses, as Chelsea will not sell for less than £60 million.

    Germany international Havertz will join Arsenal at the Emirates after a deal has been reached. The 24-year-old has been actively promoting the transfer and has already reached an understanding with the Gunners regarding personal terms.

    Comment below with your thoughts on whether Chelsea will sign Caicedo this summer.

    Chelsea should have no trouble meeting Brighton’s £80 million asking price for Caicedo as a result of all these departures, at least theoretically. The Blues’ £60 million offer for the 21-year-old was turned down two weeks ago, and they have yet to make another one.

    The people in charge at Stamford Bridge are reportedly desperate to sign Caicedo so that they can pair him up in midfield with club-record signing Enzo Fernandez the following season.

    Pochettino hasn’t officially taken over yet, but the Argentinean manager is likely to have spoken with those in charge of the team before him to discuss potential additions and departures.

    The former Tottenham manager will be well aware of the size of the task that lies ahead of him in west London as Chelsea attempts to recover from one of their worst seasons in recent memory last time out.

    Last season, the Blues spent over £600 million on new players during both the summer and winter transfer windows, yet they finished 12th, their lowest position ever.

    Liverpool need a defender like the £40m Premier League star.
    Liverpool need a left centre-back like Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, Redmen TV presenter Paul Machin has told GIVEMESPORT.

    The Reds are linked with RB Leipzig’s Joško Gvardiol but Machin believes the young Englishman could be a good alternative to the Croatian.
    Liverpool Transfer News – Levi Colwill

    In April, the Evening Standard claimed Levi Colwill was a top target for Liverpool and Manchester City.

    Brighton & Hove Albion, where the 20-year-old spent last season on loan, are also interested. According to MailOnline, the Seagulls are considering making a £40m offer after Chelsea rejected a £30m offer.

    In addition to Colwill, Liverpool have also been eyeing Gvardiol. According to Football Insider, the Merseyside club are “huge fans” of the Leipzig star, but a deal is unlikely due to his price tag.

    It means Jürgen Klopp will have to explore other options, like Colwill.
    What did Paul Machin say about Levi Colwill and Liverpool? Machin is adamant that Liverpool need a central defender of Colwill’s profile and believes his status at home would make him a good fit for the club.

    Asked about possible alternatives to Gvardiol, the Redmen TV presenter told GIVEMESPORT: “I think someone like Levi Colwill at Chelsea, who has had a very good season at Brighton, can fill that left-sided centre-back role. He can.

    ” also a little left rear.
    “Obviously there’s a big overhaul going on at Chelsea this summer. At the moment there doesn’t seem to be much added value from there.

    Liverpool believes a £40 million Chelsea star would fit well at Anfield.
    They seem to be on the heels of some footballers which is why I don’t think Mason Mount has moved to Manchester United yet. But I think he suits the local culture better and fills the need for a left centre-back which I think Liverpool have.”

    Will Liverpool sign Levi Colwill this summer?
    Colwill could certainly be a great addition to this Liverpool side.

    According to FBref, he ranks in the 92nd percentile for progressive passing and 88th for progressive carries among his positional peers.
    He proves that the England Under-21 international is quite a modern defender.

    However, are Chelsea ready to sell him? The answer is probably not as The Guardian reports, they want to add him to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad next season.
    Unless Colwill pushes for a move, a move to Liverpool or elsewhere seems unlikely.

    Arsenal reach Kai Havertz transfer 'deal' after new Chelsea bid with stance revealed
    Arsenal and Chelsea are in talks over a deal for Kai Havertz this summer transfer window, with deal on personal terms

    According to recent reports, Arsenal made a new and improved verbal offer to Chelsea for striker Kai Havertz this summer.

    The German international looks set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer after three years in West London where he has struggled consistently.

    A Champions League-winning goal against Manchester City in Porto in 2021 is sure to be the highlight of his time for the Blues, even if he has struggled to find his ideal place in the squad.

    There were also problems scoring, with Havertz failing to find the back of the net consistently

    With just two years left on his contract, the 24-year-old faced a crossroads in his decision to stay on and sign an extension or face a departure.

    Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have been strongly linked in a switch, but it is Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal who are in the running.

    football.london knows the Gunners have a stake in Havertz this summer, but they don’t intend to live up to the £70m valuation set by their London counterpart. The former Bayer Leverkusen star could provide front-line and midfield cover if needed.

    At this stage, the only thing that could delay any further push to finalize a deal is the international break, as the striker is away for Germany.

    Arsenal reach Kai Havertz transfer 'deal' after new Chelsea bid with stance revealed
    However, there is said to be hope that Arsenal can quickly reach an agreement with the Blues on a final fee to secure the signing.

    According to the Daily Mail, they are doing just that, as a new offer has been made for a total value of £60m, split between £55m in guaranteed fees and £5m in add-ons.

    The report adds that a broad agreement has been reached with the player himself on the terms of the personal contract.

    His position appears to be that he also wants the move to Arsenal which could potentially only push the transfer further and bring it closer to completion.

    It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will accept the new verbal offer before more specific details are worked out as it falls short of the current valuation.

    For everyone involved, however, it could be an ideal stage before a big summer transfer window in the capital.

    Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal have all been adversely affected by the Premier League transfer rule change.

    Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal have all been adversely affected by the Premier League transfer rule change.
    Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have more freedom to sign players on the transfer market this summer

    Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham – along with all other Premier League and EFL clubs – will be significantly affected by the latest rule change the FA has agreed with the UK government.

    The summer transfer window is expected to be one of the busiest ever and English teams now have more freedom to find new players.

    The FA has reached an agreement with the Home Office which allows the points-based system to be skipped for up to four re-registrations who do not meet the requirements of the international visa system.

    Previously, foreign players needed a certain number of support points from the governing body to be allowed to play in the Premier League.

    Now each Premier League and Championship club will have four places to get around this rule, while League One and Two clubs are only allowed two signings who don’t meet the points criteria.

    Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal have all been adversely affected by the Premier League transfer rule change.
    The Blues have been hit by the rule before, with Andrey Santos only missing a permit by one point after his summer move from Vasco da Gama

    A statement from the FA said: “The additional access will allow clubs playing in the English league to sign a number of players who do not meet current points requirements.

    There is a maximum of four players available for Premier League and Championship teams and two for League 1 and 2 teams.

    “The number of players a club can sign is proportional to the number of English players they play. While each club is allocated a minimum of two player places in the first season, they are allocated between zero and four depending on the season.” Number of England players to play in future seasons.

    “The Premier League and EFL are also committed to working with the FA to improve the pathway for talented young English players.” This solution supports both the development of English players and the clubs’ access to foreign talent.

    “The results of changes to the GBE system and enhancements to the development path are still being reviewed, which could mean that increasing the number of places allowed per club should work successfully.”

    With English clubs having more freedom this summer to sign the players they want in the transfer market, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham could be looking to secure hidden treasures they might not have thought of before. As mentioned, the Blues were denied the chance to use Santos so he was sent back to Brazil on loan.

    Even though he has yet to kick the ball on British soil, Chelsea will be happy to have finalized the deal at this stage. The 19-year-old midfielder’s value rose dramatically after the South American Under-20 Championship, where he led Brazil to glory while wearing the golden boot.

  • Breaking: Bayern Munich joins the competition to sign Kai Havertz, a striker for Chelsea.

    Breaking: Bayern Munich joins the competition to sign Kai Havertz, a striker for Chelsea.

    Breaking: Bayern Munich joins the competition to sign Kai Havertz, a striker for Chelsea. It goes without saying that this development might disappoint the Bayern fan base.

    Bayern Munich has just joined the competition to sign Kai Havertz, a striker for Chelsea FC, according to Florian Plettenberg. A cheaper option to pricey striker options like Randal Kolo Muani and Dusan Vlahovic is the 24-year-old German national team player who is currently on international duty. Arsenal, who are reportedly in contact with the player, are also interested in the player.

    Plettenberg asserts that Eintracht Frankfurt’s 100 million euro asking price has significantly cooled Bayern’s interest in Kolo Muani. Right now, a transfer to PSG for the Frenchman appears more likely. Victor Osimhen of Napoli had already been ruled out earlier in the transfer window, and Harry Kane of Tottenham appears to be out of reach. Although Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus is admired by Thomas Tuchel, the managers haven’t even brought him up for discussion (for some reason).

    We are now approaching Havertz.
    Havertz may cost between €60 and €70 million, according to Plettenberg’s reporting (via @iMiaSanMia), though Arsenal’s interest is more obvious right now. Since Havertz isn’t the kind of true 9 that the team is currently looking for, supporters will be hoping that it stays that way. He was an attacking midfielder for Leverkusen, and his attempts to play as a striker for Chelsea and the German national team have been at best unimpressive.

    If Havertz joins Bayern, he would face competition from Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala for the attacking midfield positions, which would exacerbate the issues up top. Ending up with someone like Havertz would be a huge letdown in a year where finding a top striker is essential.

    Hopefully, the club executives will soon shift their focus to more specific goals and this will only be a passing interest.

    Chelsea has already signed the “new Lionel Messi.”, as Enzo Fernandez’s ideal partner found.

    Chelsea has already signed the "new Lionel Messi.", as Enzo Fernandez's ideal partner found.
    Chelsea transfer news: The Blues have spoken to their first summer hire as they prepare to sign Moises Caicedo. In order for the two to play together, Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping.

    Kendry Paez, Chelsea’s first and only summer transfer that has been officially confirmed, has made a statement since joining the team. After months of negotiations with Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle, the 16-year-old, who won’t join until his 18th birthday, was signed.

    It offers a potential pathway for the player and is the same team that Moises Caicedo, a current transfer target, played for in his youth. Football has replaced Caicedo as Chelsea’s top priority this summer. The two Ecuadorians have long-term aspirations of joining the Blues as teammates. This is understood in London.

    It’s not as unlikely as it might seem, despite a five-year age difference. Following Roberto De Zerbi’s admission that he had probably played his last match for the club, two years after making his debut, Chelsea is making a strong effort to sign the Brighton star. Caicedo, who costs more than £70 million, is an example of the unrealized potential of South American leagues.

    In recent years, Brighton has successfully exploited this market, and Chelsea is now considering doing the same. Even at such a young age, the addition of Kendry is a strong sign of the caliber and confidence in the players of the future.

    Chelsea has already signed the "new Lionel Messi.", as Enzo Fernandez's ideal partner found.
    The player has maintained his composure even after being named to his first senior international team. He told ESPN, “I don’t feel pressure; I’m focused on Independiente, on the Libertadores, and I’ll keep playing the best I can.

    Later this month, when the national team plays Bolivia and Costa Rica, Kendry will have the chance to make his international debut. High expectations are placed on him as a player because he excelled for his country’s junior teams and advanced to play men’s football in Ecuador.

    “I need to keep working and concentrate on my studies if I want to get there well. To exchange ideas with players like Enzo [Fernandez] and other unique individuals will be a special experience. I’m concentrating on Independiente Del Valle right now, though it’s wonderful,” he continued. “I’ll keep doing what I’m doing here, there are only two years left, I know it goes by quickly. ”.

    After being acquired by Benfica for only £10 million last year, Fernandez was another player to quickly transition from South America to the Premier League. After being acquired by Chelsea for £107 million, he went on to become a world champion and a British record transfer within six months. Even at such a young age, Kendry has a history of success, from playing for River Plate to commanding midfields in the Champions League.

    Being one of the most promising players on the Ecuadorian team, he has unavoidably received comparisons to Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona. He might yet surpass late Maradona’s mark for being the youngest player to make his South American debut. He has his eye on it.

    Chelsea has already signed the "new Lionel Messi.", as Enzo Fernandez's ideal partner found.
    He said, “I have to keep working for what is coming; I want to be there, break another record. “It’s crucial for me to beat a player who was the best, world champion, and most elite player. It is amazing that an Ecuadorian broke the top record.
    “.
    However, he objects to the comparisons to the two great Argentines. I’m Kendry, and I’m going to give Ecuador a name. I refuse to be compared to Messi, so I’m going to keep being me. He is the best and very special. Because I’m still in the process and I’m only 16 years old, they cannot compare me to him.

    “I need to learn a lot and gain a lot of experience. In due time, possibly with my winnings, perhaps with the Ecuadorian Kendry Paez. There is only me doing it. ”.

    Chelsea appears to have acquired a player who is mature for his age and will benefit from his early participation in the national team. They have similar expectations for the gifted Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos, who was also loaned back to South America this year, and they will be secretly hoping to see the two of them on the field together, perhaps with Caicedo.

    Chelsea has withdrawn from the race to sign Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte as Moises Caicedo has emerged as a top target. As a result of Caicedo signing a new long-term contract earlier this year, Brighton is still in a strong position to negotiate a price for the Ecuadorian star.

    With Chelsea announcing that an agreement has been reached to sign young talent Kendry Paez, Pochettino has already made his first signing at Stamford Bridge. When the young Ecuadorian turns 18 and becomes a member of the Blues in 2025.

    Pulisic makes a noise.

    https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1666077699268562944?s=46

    Christian Pulisic has said he is unaware of the transfer rumors swirling around him this summer, as the USMNT star appears destined to leave Chelsea.

    He has hardly played this season for the Blues under three different managers, and it is now widely anticipated that he will be one of the many first team stars leaving the organization. Despite Mauricio Pochettino’s hiring, Pulisic’s contract has just over a year left and no new terms have been presented.

    It has been by far his worst season in terms of output, scoring just one goal in 30 appearances—mostly from the bench—and it has coincided with the team’s precipitous decline, which saw them finish the season in 12th place. The American winger is currently attracting attention from all over Europe.
