Chelsea ‘monitoring’ potential future signing and receive big injury boost

Chelsea return to league action tomorrow with a home clash against Wolves at Stamford Bridge. The Blues won 2-1 away at Crystal Palace last time out courtesy of midfielder Conor Gallagher’s late winner.

Graham Potter is unbeaten in his opening three games in charge in all competitions.

Here is a look at some of the latest news coming out of the club...

Off-field appointment close

Chelsea are reportedly poised to appoint Christopher Vivell as their new technical director. The 35-year-old cut ties with Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig last week.

According to the Telegraph reporter Matt Law, he is now set to move to Stamford Bridge in the same role (see tweet below):

Chelsea keeping tabs on defender

The Blues are believed to be keeping close tabs on Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni.

He has been a key player for the Serie A side since joining them back in 2017 from Atalanta and has since made 128 appearances in all competitions, chipping in with four goals in all competitions.

Potter is ‘monitoring’ his progress over in Italy and he has emerged as a potential transfer target for the future, according to CalcioMercatoWeb.

Defender injury

Chelsea have been dealt a blow on the injury front with summer signing Wesley Fofana sidelined.

He made the move to London from fellow top flight club Leicester City in the last transfer window but has picked up a knee problem.

In the latest update by the Evening Standard, his injury isn’t as bad as initially feared and his first sets of tests have returned positive results.
