When is transfer deadline day 2022?
Chelsea fans will surely be thrilled by this news in what has been a long summer in terms of fixing their defence.
Plenty of names have been linked with CFC since the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, with Kalidou Koulibaly looking promising since he joined from Napoli, but with further additions needed.
? EXCLUSIVE ?
Manchester United have asked Barcelona about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but the player's preference is to join Chelsea.

Fofana has impressed at Leicester and looks ready to make the step up to a bigger club, as so many players at the King Power Stadium have done down the years.
N’Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell also moved from Leicester to Chelsea, while the Foxes also lost star names like Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City and Harry Maguire to Manchester United.
That’s great, but Chelsea should sign strikers, blues for life
Thanks for the money chelsea fofana,not welcome at the king power never ever again,he will be injured in less than 3 games and is another Harry maguire…
Fofana,will never be welcome back at the king power.after Leicester took him out of a cheap French league,doubling his salary and giving a 21 year old 5 year deal. He has hardly kicked a ball for Leicester and spent a year being rehabilitated,by club medical staff after injury. He has shown no loyalty in a short period to Leicester,that’s why Leicester fans now sing f……off fofana,at all games. He is not an international and injury prone and certainly no rudiger,either.thanks for the money chelsea.
