Premier League rivals Man City and Liverpool are now believed to be targeting a Chelsea "superstar" this summer, with an approach already made for him ahead of the first window which opens on June 1st.
As per reliable journalist Simon Phillips, sharing a fresh update on Enzo Maresca and BlueCo's transfer plans, there are three main positions which they'd like to strengthen before next season.
Chelsea are thought to be after a new centre-back, winger and striker as their three main priorities, and could even look to reinforce a host of other areas throughout the squad as well, but this will depend on many factors - like Champions League qualification and player sales.
"Chelsea’s priority is a new striker, centre back, and a winger," said Phillips, via his Substa
"But not just that. After those three, Chelsea are also discussing signing a new left back (or a defender who can play left back), a second centre back to arrive as well as the priority one (could be a hybrid CB/LB), a new goalkeeper, and a versatile attacker.
"However, some of the latter will be Champions League-dependent as well as player sales-dependent."
