Chelsea ‘line up’ move for attacking midfielder and set sights on Eredivisie ace

Chelsea got back to winning ways over the weekend.

The Blues beat fellow London club West Ham United 2-1 at Stamford Bridge thanks to goals from Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz.

They are back in action tomorrow night against Dynamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

Here is a look at the latest news regarding the club...

Midfielder on radar

Chelsea will reportedly look at signing Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez in the January transfer window.

The Mexico international has been a hit in the Eredivisie since his move to Holland from Club America back in 2019.

As reported by the Evening Standard, Thomas Tuchel’s side will ‘revisit’ a move for him this winter after missing out on a deal in the summer.

Teenager wanted

The Blues are said to be keen on signing Fulham attacking midfielder Luke Harris.

He has been on the bench a couple of times for the Cottagers this term and is being tipped for a bright future in the game.

The Evening Standard claim Chelsea will ‘line up’ a bid for the 17-year-old in an attempt to lure him away from Craven Cottage.

James deal

Reece James has penned a new contract which is good news for the club.

The right-back has made an impressive start to the new campaign and has committed his future until 2028.

He has told the official club website: “I am over the moon with my new contract and I’m thankful for the fans, the new ownership and everyone involved in the club. I cannot wait to see what the future holds, and I am sure we will have the chance of winning many trophies.

“I grew up supporting this club and I’ve been here since I was a six-year-old. I put pen to paper on a new deal because this is the club I want to be at. I’d like to say a special thanks to the fans, I am here to stay and we have a bright future ahead of us.”
