Chelsea’s midfielder has been linked with a potential transfer exit this summer, and the manager of an interested club has now commented publicly about a potential deal.

While a lot of the Blues focus may be on the numerous incomings at Stamford Bridge this summer, there’s also several individuals linked with exits.

For example, 24-year-old Conor Gallagher is tipped to be joining Atletico Madrid. The Daily Mail reports that Gallagher flew to Madrid on Monday, so he’ll soon be announced as a new Atletico player.

So, how many more players will be following Gallagher out the exit doors before the summer window shuts on 30 August?

John Mousinho confirms Tino Anjorin interest

Portsmouth boss John Mousinho has practically just confirmed that his club is still interested in signing Chelsea’s Tino Anjorin this summer.

Mousinho, the English manager who guided Portsmouth to promotion from League One to the Championship last season, coached Anjorin last term. The 22-year-old Chelsea player spent last year on a season-long loan with Portsmouth, but he only played 14 games across all competitions due to injury.

Despite his injury problems, Mousinho admits his club is still looking to bring the Blues midfielder back to the South Coast.

“Tino is training with Chelsea at the moment and there’s no movement there in terms of where we are,” Mousinho told Portsmouth News.

“But we are hoping to possibly move that closer to the start of the season.”

Tino Anjorin transfer links

It was claimed in a report by Portsmouth News in July that Anjorin would welcome a return to Portsmouth amid interest. Apparently, the box-to-box midfielder would need to take a pay cut in order to make a permanent switch to Fratton Park, but for any loan move his fitness will need to be weighed up.

Anjorin was left off Chelsea’s pre-season trip to the United States this summer, so he’s been training back at Cobham with individuals in a similar boat.

It’s hard to see his route into the Blues first team anytime soon, especially when you see the competition for places in midfield, so it feels like a no-brainer to get a move for him sorted this summer.
