Next player to arrive? Chelsea pushing to get another deal done after submitting lucrative bid
On Tuesday, Chelsea made a bid in an effort to close another transaction within this window.
However, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Gabriel Slonina have all been formally registered as new Chelsea players so far, however Slonina will remain with Chicago Fire until the end of the current campaign.
Who will enter the game next? Mark Cucurella, a Brighton resident? Yes, most likely. Because Chelsea has reportedly made their official £50 million offer to sign the left full back and is expecting to close a deal, according to Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday evening.
He claims that Brighton, who appear to be demanding that Levi Colwill be sold to them in a different arrangement but one that may still be regarded as the same, has not yet provided an official response. It appears to be a somewhat complicated scenario.
This might be a problem because Chelsea won’t want to let Colwill sign a permanent contract.
