New Chelsea boss introduces himself to fans – As Blues agree to sign £20M man – Chelsea eye up Spaniard
New CHELSEA boss Bruno has been introducing himself to the assembled media following the sacking of Graham Potter.
Here’s how the new interim Blues boss began his press conference:
“Before we start, I spoke to him five mins ago – he sends his regards to all of you. Obviously it’s been a difficult 24 hours for all of us, for the staff, for the families and now we have to live with the situation.
“If I’m here right now it’s because Graham and the club thought it was the right step. I’m just here to help the club in the best way I can.
I’m here right now, trying to keep the process going. We try to go along with it the best we can. I think Graham did an amazing job. Football is a really complex business and we have to keep going.
“I couldn’t see the players yet. We have an afternoon session planned. At the end of the day all of us are responsible, we have to focus on tomorrow’s game and that’s the energy we’re working on.
“I spoke to the owners, they’ve been supportive. I’m focused on training today, match today and afterwards step by step.”
CHELSEA AGREE PAEZ DEAL
CHELSEA have beaten the likes of Liverpool, Man United and Man City to the signing of midfield wonderkid Kendry Paez just hours before sacking Graham Potter
Since the arrival of Ted Boehly at the club last summer – the Club have been spending some serious money on some of the best young talents in the game right now.
It is clear that the American has a long-term plan at Stamford Bridge and has made sure that we have beaten off their rivals for those talents – and it seems that they have once again done it with the possible signing of Paez.
It is believed that the midfielder could cost the Blues around £20m – with any potential fee set to rise depending on his performances up to his 18th birthday.
The teenager is one of the most sought-after youngsters in world football but cannot link up with CHELSEA until he turns 18 in 2025.
The news came just a few hours before the club made the stunning decision to sack Graham Potter – less than seven months in charge of the club.
