Yet another club are hoping to hold talks with one Chelsea target this summer, but he is expected to go elsewhere anyway.

The news comes after Chelsea finally secured their qualification to play Champions League football next season on the final day of the Premier League season yesterday.

EXCL: Chelsea to make decision on English defender after scouting him five times this season – He impressed them!

The Blues had to win this game to secure it, and they managed a 1-0 away win against Nottingham Forest to provide scenes of celebrations amongst the Blues players and staff yesterday evening. And in by doing this, Chelsea also set a brand new record in football!

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca was so pleased with making the Champions League that he took the opportunity to swear at all of his critics across the season by telling them all to F off!!

Almost time for madness

The summer transfer window is now just around the corner and we are expecting even more Chelsea madness in the market.

Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen, but Chelsea are most certainly going to be very busy once again buying and selling players and hopefully improving the current squad even more ready for Champions League football next season.

A new striker is priority

Chelsea want to bring in a new number 9 as priority, that has become common knowledge now. And Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap is still one of the most linked names, but he is a wanted man and many other clubs are also trying for him.

The Telegraph are reporting that Nottingham Forest want to hold talks with Liam Delap now as well, who is available for £30 million. But they also state he is widely expected to join Manchester United this summer.
