Abramovich ready to hire shock Lamps replacement, Chelsea to open talks to sign big Italian, Lamps told Grealish will cost £100 million, Would fans welcome signing of Isco? in Chelsea247 roundup news…
According to reports, Chelsea are considering Andriy Shevchenko as their next manager to replace Frank Lampard.
The Blues have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches and sit eighth in the table, seven points behind Liverpool having played a game more than the reigning champions. Pressure is building on the former England International to get the results, when pundits not suggesting that he will be the first boss in the Premier League to get the sack.
There has been talk in the media that Thomas Tuchel is very interested in making the move to the Premier League and taking charge of the Blues, especially after he got the sack from PSG just a few weeks ago, and he is the favourite to take over the Blues.
But Le10Sport claim that Chelsea could swap one inexperienced former player for another in Shevchenko.
Sheva is currently boss of the Ukraine national team, a position he has held since 2016, having never managed anywhere else, and He has won 21 of his 40 games in charge, and most recently guided his side to Euro 2020 by topping a group that also contained European champions Portugal.
The reports says, Despite struggling as a player at Chelsea, Shevchenko remains well thought of by owner Roman Abramovich and is claimed to be on their radar as a manager.
Look, it would be a massive shock to see Lampard get the sack well before the season finishes, but at the end of the day, Shevchenko is not the right manager to bring to the club as he will not be much better than Lampard.
Isco has dropped a massive hint that he would like to sign with Chelsea in the coming windows, but would Chelsea fans welcome the Spaniard
Now we all know that Frank Lampard has one of the best attacks in the Premier League, with the likes of Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner just a few names that have got many excited this season.
However, they are still lacking creativity in the centre of that midfield, with Mason Mount the only player that adds both goals and assists to the squad, meaning that Lampard may be looking to keep improving that midfield.
And that has led to constant speculation that Isco is back on the shopping list of the Chelsea hierarchy, having failed to sign the Spaniard on a number of occasions over the last few seasons.
And they have been given a boost in their chase after the Spain international insinuated that he could be interested in joining the Blues as he told Soccer Bible that Stamford Bridge is the ground he would like to play at the most as he has yet to have the chance.
However, Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane doesn’t appear willing to let the 28-year-old go before the summer even though he barely uses him
Speaking recently on Spanish radio, the player’s father stated: “at present, we have no offers, but Isco wants to try another league,” he told Cadena SER on Monday. He added: “Staying in Madrid would not be a problem.”
Look, Isco is brilliant and would be very special for Chelsea, but they need a central midfielder that can control games, Isco is not that player, is he? He would offer the clubs something different, but Lampard would be making a mistake bringing in a player that is pretty much like most of his attack at the club.
BUT WE ARE ASKING YOU GUYS, WOULD GE BE WORTH BRINGING TO THE CLUB?
Chelsea have been told that one of their top transfer targets, Jack Grealish, is now worth £100 million.
After a stunning first season in the Premier League, Grealish was linked with all sorts of clubs over the summer transfer window, and many expected him to leave the Villians in search of superstardom.
However, he opted to stay at the club, and the decision was a right one as he has made an unbelievable start to the new season and is now one of the most creative players in the Premier League, with his performances linking him again with a big move.
The Daily Mail claim Chelsea remain keen on bringing Grealish to Stamford Bridge, although his value has risen following his brilliant season so far for Villa – with his performances helping them to fifth in the Premier League table.
The 25-year-old also signed a new five-year contract with his boyhood club following the summer transfer window, despite reports that he had told friends he was on his way out of the club in the summer window.
We are massive fans of Grealish and firmly believe that he is jus the type of player that would be a brilliant addition to this Chelsea midfield, but if the reports are true and he is now worth £100 million, the board will never pay that.
Chelsea are pushing to complete a transfer deal for AC Milan star Gianluigi Donarumma, and have made contact about a possible deal, But would fans welcome the man?
It was no secret over the course of the summer transfer window that Chelsea were very interested in trying to secure a transfer deal for the big Italian before they opted to complete a deal for Edouard Mendy.
But Chelsea’s interest has remained in the Italian this season, especially as there is constant speculation about his future at the Italian giants, and the fact that he has not agreed a new contract to extend his stay beyond the current season.
Despite his tender years, the 21-year-old has been the club’s first choice between the sticks for some time, and looks set to fill the role of the Italian national team’s long-term successor to Gianluigi Buffon. And According to respected Chelsea blogger Simon Phillips, the Blues have made contact with Donnarumma whose contract is set to expire this summer.
The reports also suggest Chelsea are hoping to persuade the 21-year-old to join, but will face stiff competition from a host of top clubs across Europe.
Mendy has been brilliant this season, but Chelsea need to add something special to the stopper area, and considering Donnarumma is tipped to become one of the very best stoppers in world football, he is certainly a player that would be a massive signing for the Chelsea board.
So the fact that the transfer window is now open and the fact that he has not agreed a new contract with the Italian giants means that there is a real chance that Chelsea would be able to get a deal done. And the biggest news of the day, HE COULD ARRIVE ON A FREE!!! Now that would be some great business from the Chelsea board wouldnt it?
