Chelsea to break transfer record by signing four more players
The Blues could take their transfer expenditure up to a record £300 million this summer as they line up bids for four more players.
These four players are Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Frenkie de Jong, Wesley Fofana, and Marc Cucurella.
Chelsea will hold talks with Barcelona for Aubameyang and De Jong. Attempts to sign Fofana haven’t been successful so far, though. Leicester City want around £80 million for the defender. On the bright side, however, Chelsea are confident of signing Cucurella from Brighton for around £52.5 million. [The Telegraph – subscription required]
