'Will be opportunistic' – Journalist suggests Chelsea could move on Premier League star

One journalist has suggested that Chelsea could soon move on one Premier League star should an opportunity become available.

This news comes after Chelsea beat Real Betis to win the Conference League on Wednesday night after being a goal down at half time and turning it around.

The Blues ended up winning the game 4-1 in the end after a bit of a Cole Palmer masterclass in the second half, providing two beautiful assists for his team mates to grab crucial goals.

Although head coach Enzo Maresca is once again not willing to get carried away after this by insisting that Chelsea’s target for next season is not going to be winning the Champions League!

Delap is already joining

David Orsntein reports on The Athletic at the weekend that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Liam Delap over personal terms and the striker will join from Ipswich Town on a contract that runs until 2031, subject to completing his medical checks.

But as well as Delap, more signings are expected and there could even be some big names joining him, names such as Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.

Jacobs reports

Journalist Ben Jacobs reports on X over the weekend:

“Another forward is also possible as Christopher Nkunku is expected to leave. This could be another number nine, despite faith in Nicolas Jackson. Or it could be a versatile attacking midfielder.

“Chelsea will be opportunistic should Morgen Rogers become available, but Aston Villa have no intention to sell even with a tight PSR position.”

Rogers would be a top signing for Chelsea if they could pull that off, but it doesn’t look like it’s that likely at the moment.
