We are now into the last week of Euro 2024, and the end of that will bring fresh opportunities for player movement. For now, there is still plenty for Chelsea to get along with under Enzo Maresca.
The boss has officially started his role as head coach, and players are filtering back into the club ahead of preparatory work before the tour of America last month. Meanwhile, decision-makers are starting to eye up targets of increasing variety, with Aaron Anselmino being the latest to have their arrival all but confirmed.
Leicester have confirmed the signing of Chelsea academy ace Michael Golding. The teenager moves to the King Power Stadium in a separate deal from the one that saw Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall arrive at Stamford Bridge last week.
Golding, who made his full debut for the club last season under Mauricio Pochettino in a brief cameo that almost saw him score, will bank Chelsea £5million for the sale, and there is no buyback clause inserted into his contract. He also becomes the sixth player to leave the club after Omari Hutchinson, Ian Maatsen, and Lewis Hall had their exits confirmed. Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva both departed for free.
Conor Gallagher is unlikely to complete a move across London to Tottenham this summer, reports suggest. The 24-year-old has been a long-term target for Ange Postecoglou’s side, which is one of the known interested clubs.
Spurs have not only already signed Archie Gray from Leeds for £25million (plus Joe Rodon going the other way) but they are also looking at Jacob Ramsey, it has been said, and the Villa man is seen as a possible alternative for Gallagher.
