Chelsea Aggressively Eye Newcastle United Star Linked to PSG

Football Insider reported on Jan. 3, citing sources, that Chelsea are closely monitoring Tonali, although they are keen in a summer move rather than one in January.

Chelsea are weighing a move for Tonali as the club looks to add more substance in midfield, with questions lingering over what sits behind the established trio of Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, and Enzo Fernandez.

There is a sense internally that Andrey Santos has yet to fully convince as the next option, while Romeo Lavia’s ongoing injury issues have only heightened the need for reinforcements.

As a result, that has firmly placed Tonali in the conversation. The Italy international brings proven Premier League know-how and has delivered consistently strong performances throughout the current campaign, making the profile an appealing one for Chelsea’s recruitment plans.
