Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Chelsea now have a long list of players they are still considering signing this summer.
He said on his Daily Briefing that the Blues still have as many as ten players on the list of attacking midfielders they are looking at in the final few days of the transfer window.
In his press conference today, Mauricio Pochettino hinted that he would be satisfied if the club did not bring in another signing this summer.
They have been extremely active again, completing additions such as Moises Caicedo, Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson.
This has come at the expense of a number of last season’s key first team players. Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Kalidou Koulibaly have all moved on as the clear out has been in full force.
It has been claimed that the one player that Chelsea are looking to bring in is an attacking midfielder, who has the ability to be versatile and play along the frontline.
Chelsea have ten-man list
One of the names who has been reported frequently in the last 24 hours is Emile Smith Rowe, who is apparently surplus to requirements at the Emirates.
Romano has now claimed though that he is not the only figure they are considering, and as many as ten are in the shortlist ahead of what is set to be a mad last few days of the transfer window.
He said: “Chelsea have 10 names on their list for the end of the transfer window.”
This rush has come after the expected deal for Michael Olise from Crystal Palace fell through, despite them triggering his release clause.
The saga actually ended with the Frenchman signing a new contract to remain at Selhurst Park.
