Chelsea are reportedly eyeing up a Deadline Day swoop for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao with the Blues on the hunt for attacking reinforcements.
Thomas Tuchel remains as keen as ever to bolster his options in the attacking third of the pitch after an underwhelming start to the new season where Chelsea’s front line has failed to impress.
Tuchel is looking to bring in a new forward and midfielder before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday with the west London giants facing a race against time to dip into the market for fresh faces.
According to a report from ESPN, it is claimed that Chelsea are in discussions over a potential move for AC Milan forward Rafael Leao with the 23-year-old Serie A star emerging on top of Chelsea’s shopping list.
Barcelona maestro Frenkie de Jong is another player closely eyed by the Stamford Bridge camp despite suggestions that the Dutchman could be set to say put with the Catalan outfit for the campaign.
