Potter plotting Chelsea signings, new Brazilian rumour, Gvardiol twist
Graham Potter is plotting Chelsea signings during his first window at the club. There is a new Brazilian target transfer rumour and a twist regarding the potential Josko Gvardiol acquisition.
Graham Potter is plotting new signings during his first transfer window at Stamford Bridge according to various reports, one of which you can read by clicking here. Apparently the much-lauded head coach – well, he was admired when at Brighton & Hove Albion, at least – has a number of possible new recruits. As usual, you can access details of those players and The Pride of London’s views.
Potter truly and desperately needs new acquisitions, even in January, if CFC are realistically and seriously intent on qualifying for the Champions League. If it’s not underperforming established stars, it’s poor signings, all topped off with injuries to new, long-term as well as promising personnel.

The main areas that require upgrading and reinforcing are centreback, midfield – in a creative capacity – and attack. You may think ‘the Blues have loads of defenders’, and you’d be right. However, Wesley Fofana has a new issue and some of the role players are ageing and others remain unfit, too.
With the arrival of Christopher Nkunku not coming until the summer, and Armando Broja now sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, a centreforward who will actually score goals would be nice. We all know Pierre-Emerick has the talent, experience and technique to score at every level in any game. Although, relying on the former Barcelona and Arsenal man is unwise at his age with the Chels’ team not fully firing, either.
A new Brazilian transfer rumour and a twist in Chelsea’s Josko Gvardiol chase
So, with respect to possible incoming midfielders, Potter is said to be getting close to securing Andrey Santos of Vasco da Gama in a January swoop. The deal will supposedly be for around £12million, but might perhaps rise to approximately £20m. At 18 though, this is probably another one for the future.

Gvardiol talk is back on! Following hearsay that the west London outfit may go for alternatives, it is now claimed that the CB’s enormous £100m release clause won’t deter the Blues. In addition to that, Bayern Munich have pulled out, in a boost for the English side.
