Chelsea has become the latest club to take an interest in Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, sources revealed on Wednesday. The Premier League club has joined the likes of Barcelona, Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Real Madrid in monitoring the player’s development.

The Blues’ interest in the 22-year-old comes as a result of their transfer strategy which involves pursuing young players who they believe exhibit a major potential for growth. Last season, Kvaratskhelia scored 14 goals and made 17 assists in 43 matches as Napoli won their first Serie A title in 32 years.

While Napoli value Kvaratskhelia at a staggering €100 million, the Italian club is reportedly unwilling to part ways with the Georgian. Kvaratskhelia has a contract with Napoli until 2027, with the club currently in talks with the player over a new, extended deal under improved terms.

Chelsea signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica after paying the player’s €121 million ($131 million) release clause, Benfica confirmed on Tuesday. The transaction, performed on transfer deadline day, broke the Premier League record for the most expensive transfer. The previous record was the £100 million paid by Manchester City to acquire Jack Grealish from Aston Villa in 2021.

While the Argentinian midfielder had already agreed on personal terms with Chelsea on Monday, the club had only submitted paperwork to Benfica to complete the transfer on Tuesday. According to reports, the Portuguese club received the paperwork on time, just before the transfer deadline at 2300 GMT on Tuesday.

Fernandez joined Benfica from the Argentinian side River Plate in 2022, playing 29 games and grabbing four goals and seven assists for the Portuguese club. The 22-year-old went on to impress at the FIFA World Cup, scoring a goal and making an assist as he helped Argentina to lift the trophy for the first time since 1986.

In 10th position on the Premier League table, Chelsea has engaged in a spending spree in an effort to turn its season around. The club recently completed the purchase of Ukrainian winger Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk for €70 million.

Premier League side Chelsea has continued its January spending spree by completing the transfer of Noni Madueke from Eredivisie club PSV, the club confirmed on Friday. The 20-year-old player signed a seven-and-a-half-year contract with the club with a club option to extend for an additional year. The transfer fee is reported to be around €35 million ($38m).

“I’m really pleased to sign with one of the best clubs in the world in Chelsea,” Madueke exclaimed following the announcement of his arrival. “To return to England and play in the Premier League is a dream for me and my family and I can’t wait to get started. I am excited for what the future holds, the owner’s vision for the future and to be at a club like this and winning at the highest level.”

A youth player for both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, Madueke joined PSV’s youth team in 2018. Since making his senior team debut in 2020, the winger has scored 20 goals and provided 14 assists in 80 appearances for the Dutch club.

Prior to Madueke’s transfer, the Blues already signed Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix during the current January transfer window.

Chelsea announced the signing of Ukraine winger Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk during the half-time break of their Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Sunday; a match they went on to win 1-0. The €70 million deal will see Mudryk sign an eight-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

“I’m so happy to sign for Chelsea. This is a huge club, in a fantastic league and it is a very attractive project for me at this stage of my career,” Mudryk stated following the announcement of his transfer. “I’m excited to meet my new teammates and I’m looking forward to working and learning under Graham Potter and his staff.”

Arsenal was reported to also have expressed an interest in the 22-year-old player, submitting a bid of €70 million upfront as well as significant add-ons, however, Shakhtar declined as this fell short of their €100 million valuation for the player.

Mudryk has made a significant impact on European football this season, scoring three goals and grabbing two assists in the group stage of the Champions League as the Ukrainian side grabbed a third-placed finish to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.

Chelsea has completed the signing of Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid, the club announced on Wednesday. The loan fee for the forward is approximately £11 million.

“Chelsea is one of the great teams in the world and I hope to help the team reach their objectives, so I am very, very happy to be here and very excited to play at Stamford Bridge,” Felix said in a statement to the club’s official website. While Felix was also offered to Arsenal and Manchester United, neither club was prepared to meet Atletico’s financial demands.

Since joining Atletico Madrid in 2019 for a club-record fee of €126 million, the 23-year-old has struggled to make an impact at the La Liga club and has thus been unable to secure a regular spot in the starting 1. Felix has scored 34 goals in 131 games for Atletico.

Felix will be hoping to leave his mark at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues desperate to improve their performances in front of goal. Currently, Chelsea has scored the fewest goals of the teams in the top half of the Premier League table.

Chelsea and Benfica found themselves deadlocked in negotiations over the transfer of midfielder Enzo Fernandez. Benfica is reportedly prepared to sell the player to the Premier League side on condition that their €120 million release clause is met in full.

Sources from both clubs have delivered conflicting messages over the sale of the 21-year-old Argentinian. While sources close to Benfica claim that Chelsea could pay up to €127 million with the additional sum being used to entice the Portuguese club to accept the payment in installments, sources familiar with Chelsea insist that the Premier League club has not yet committed to the sum of the release clause.

While Fernandez remains a top transfer target for the Blues, Chelsea is hoping to negotiate his price down with Benfica. A lower fee would give Chelsea the extra funding necessary to pursue other acquisitions including Monaco center-back Benoit Badiashile, who the club is set to sign for a fee of €37 million.

Currently, in 10th place in the Premier League, the Blues are looking to strengthen their squad in order to turn their season around and qualify for European football next season.

Chelsea is closing in on the signing of Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile, sources confirmed on Monday. The Blues are expected to pay in the region of €37 million for the player, who is set to arrive in London and undergo a medical in the next 24 hours.

Badiashile made 106 Ligue 1 appearances for Monaco and has earned two international caps for the French national team. He ultimately missed out on a spot in France’s 2022 World Cup squad.

At 21 years of age, Badiashile matches the profile of those players that Chelsea is looking to sign in pursuit of the club’s strategy going forward. Under the ownership of Todd Boehly, the Blues are looking to overhaul their squad by signing young players on long-term deals.

While the Blues had targeted RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol as a priority signing in the January transfer window, Badiashile presents a cheaper alternative. So far, Chelsea and Leipzig have been unable to agree on terms for Gvardiol’s transfer.

Badiashile will play a big part in expanding Chelsea’s defensive options, particularly following the departure of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger on free transfers last summer.

Sources have confirmed to ESPN that Chelsea has agreed to the fee proposed by Leicester City for the transfer of defender Wesley Fofana. The Blues are expected to pay an initial fee of £75 million for the 21-year-old rising star.

Following weeks of speculation surrounding Fofana’s expected departure from Leicester, the Foxes’ manager Brendan Rodgers decided to omit him from the squad for the Premier League clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, stating that the player was not in “the right state of mind” to play. Fofana was also left out of the Foxes’ team against Southampton during their 2-1 loss at the King Power Stadium the previous weekend.

Fofana is the latest target in what has been a busy summer transfer window for the Blues. Chelsea has been specifically going big at the back, signing the likes of full-back Marc Cucurella from Brighton & Hove Albion and center-back Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.

After their clash with Leicester City on Saturday, Chelsea next faces Southampton away at the St. Mary’s Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel insists that the club does not need to sign new players following his side’s shock 3-0 defeat to Leeds United on Sunday. The Blues have won just one of their first three Premier League games this season.

According to Tuchel, his team appeared to be the stronger side on the day but made a handful of costly mistakes that handed the game to Leeds. While he previously expressed his interest in signing another central defender and striker before the close of the transfer window, Tuchel is adamant that he will not resort to panic buying on the back of Chelsea’s humiliating defeat.

“The transfer period is still open and it gets later and later and we need to focus on what we have and what we can do,” the Chelsea boss told reporters after the match. He also pointed out how his side dominated the game in the opening 20 minutes but began to make errors that cost the Blues’ the game.

Center-back Kalidou Koulibaly, who Chelsea signed from Napoli during the current transfer window, was sent off against Leeds after receiving a second yellow due to pulling down Joe Gelhardt.

Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling has completed a move to Chelsea, it was confirmed on Wednesday. The 27-year-old player joins the Blues for £47.5 million plus £50 million with add-ons. The sale comes at an opportune time for Manchester City, seeing as Sterling’s contract would have been up next year, at which point he would have left the club as a free agent.

“London is my home and where it all started for me, and it’s amazing I now have the opportunity to play in front of friends and family week in, week out at Stamford Bridge. I’m really looking forward to meeting the fans there soon,” Sterling stated following the announcement of his transfer.

The 27-year-old player played a pivotal role at Pep Guardiola’s Man City, bagging four Premier League titles, four League Cup trophies, and an FA Cup since arriving at the Etihad in 2015. In 339 appearances, Sterling scored 131 goals for Manchester City.

Sterling has also become a pivotal member of the English national squad, scoring three times for his country during the European Championships last year as the Three Lions made their first major cup final appearance since 1966.
