Chelsea would like to sign an attacking midfielder since this year’s summer transfer window, but was unable to close a deal at the end of August despite long -term interest in Xavi Simons.
Tottenham Hotspur hijacked the blues deal for the former RB Leipzig -star and after that Enzo Maresca lagged behind very little time to sign an alternative of similar quality, which was also impeded by Levi Colwill’s ACL injury around that time.
According to appropriate offsideChelsea has made a new number 10 of their priority on its way to 2026, set up a shortlist in the process that Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa, Juventus star Kenan Yildiz and Olympique Lyon Youngster Malick Fofana comprises.
Rogers will become most likely to become a member of Chelsea
Morgan Rogers is perhaps the best -placed player to add to Chelsea from Aston Villa next year, and under the trio of midfielders on their wish list, the English international has also been the longest connected to a dive to Stamford Bridge.
Villa’s precarious financial situation could force them to lose Rogers next year in a potential £ 80 million deal, while his Premier League experience would keep him instead of the alternative options of Chelsea.
Rogers is also good friends with Cole Palmer, so although there may be interest from many other clubs in his services, Chelsea would believe that they are sitting in line to see every competition for the 23-year-old.
Kenan Yildiz would also be a solid signature and he has done a solid design at Juventus, but his transfer can be just as expensive as Rogers’, so the blues perhaps prefer a player who has insight into the Premier League.
Juve, however, has the Turkish international within their plans and will probably not sell him quickly, making a transfer to England look like an unlikely proposition, especially in the next few transfer pharmacists.
On the other hand, Malick Fofana would be cost -effective and a player Chelsea would be able to offer a very long contract, but his lack of output in the last third compared to Rogers and Yildiz will probably not make him that much of a priority.
