An American to replace an Ecuadorian? Two weeks before the resumption of the Premier League, with a huge shock to come against Liverpool, Chelsea have still not completed the arrival of Moisés Caicedo. The midfielder wants to join London, but his club Brighton are tough on business. The Seagulls have already refused many offers and intend to stay on their position. If Lesley Ugochukwu was suddenly recruited from Stade Rennais, Mauricio Pochettino intends to loan the young Frenchman.
Even if Andrey Santos seems to be a real nugget, Chelsea must find the right arm of Enzo Fernandez in the double pivot of the Blues. So, the latter begin to tick the name of other alternatives in case of failure for Caicedo. The Times reveals Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams is an option the London club are interested in. Relegated to the Championship with the Peacocks, the 24-year-old American could be one of Todd Boehly’s spare wheels, along with Roméo Lavia, Edson Alvarez from Ajax or even Gabri Veiga from Celta. Players much less strong than Moisés Caicedo, for whom Chelsea will undoubtedly return to the charge in the coming days.
