It looks as if Chelsea’s current first team squad are doing some of the heavy lifting when it comes to the club completing transfers this summer.
The Blues have already made a number of additions to their side ahead of next season, with them beginning to make their mark in pre-season.
Yesterday saw Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall play himself into the thinking for the first Premier League game of the season with a superb performance against Club America.
He was replaced at half-time by Enzo Fernandez for his first appearance of the summer in preperation for the season opener against Manchester City.
It looks as if the Argentine has been busy in touch with one of his countrymen, Aaron Anselmino, about his imminent move to Stamford Bridge.
Fernandez has messaged Aaron Anselmino
According to Ole, the current Chelsea man has offered his services to the youngster, whilst also congratulating him for the steps he has made.
He said: “I congratulate you for this step. Now break it in the six months that you go to Boca and I’ll wait for you, you’re going to break it here. Count on me for whatever you need.”
It has been reported that Anselmino has already undergone his medical to join Chelsea, with him at this stage in line to return to Boca Juniors until the end of the year.
Fernandez place at Chelsea under threat
Fernandez’s personal place in the team will be under more threat than before this season, with a number of midfielders looking to stake their claim for a place in the side.
As well as Dewsbury-Hall’s performance last night, Romeo Lavia was also back to his best after a tough outing against Celtic last weekend, with him praying that injuries have deserted him going into the new season.
One player who it looks like will not be challenging for minutes next season is Conor Gallagher, if he can be convinced to make a move to Spain.
Atletico Madrid have reportedly agreed a fee with Chelsea for the midfielder, however it remains to be seen if he can get on board with the switch.
