In the Premier League, during the transfer window, we only talk about Chelsea. It must be said that the London club, since the takeover by American billionaire Todd Boehly, has spent a fortune. In total, expenses amount to more than a billion euros with the arrival of around twenty players. However, this XXL recruitment over several transfer windows has not allowed Chelsea to become competitive again. On the contrary.
The club has, in fact, been marked by a rather disconcerting instability for several seasons and no coach (and they have succeeded one another from Thomas Tuchel to Graham Potter via Frank Lampard and Mauricio Pochettino) has managed to get Chelsea back on track. rails.

The Colombian international should land for a check for 50 million euros. He scored 8 goals in 49 matches with Unai Emery’s team.
All that is missing is a contractual agreement between the 20-year-old and the Blues who were already interested in his profile last January. The idea is to allow Enzo Maresca, new Chelsea coach, to have a choice on the attacking front. The Colombian striker will be in competition with Nicolas Jackson for the number 9 position. This file could also be concluded before the start of the Copa América. Chelsea could therefore still break the bank for a not really confirmed attacker. And this is enough to leave some supporters of the club on social networks perplexed…
