Chelsea accused of blocking Arsenal transfer plans as pressure mounts on Mikel Arteta

 



Arsenal spent over £100million in the summer transfer window but Mikel Arteta did not get all of his top targets. Ben White was the biggest signing, arriving in a £50m move from Brighton. Martin Odegaard also made his loan move permanent as he quit Real Madrid.


However, the Gunners' main problem area this season has been up front as they have not scored a single goal in their opening three league matches.


Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette continue to draw blanks and Arteta wanted a new forward before the window shut.


The north Londoners put out the feelers to Chelsea, who were looking to offload Tammy Abraham.


Thomas Tuchel gave the green light for the England international to link up with Jose Mourinho's Roma after Romelu Lukaku arrived at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea plan late loan bid for £38m midfielder after Man Utd approach

Image
  Chelsea are planning a last-ditch loan move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, according to reports. The European champions have already completed their major signing this month by landing Romelu Lukaku in a £97.5 million deal from Inter. Chelsea have targeted Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde this summer but are looking to offload Kurt Zouma to West Ham before they press ahead with that deal. But according to The Telegraph, Chelsea are also exploring the possibility of a late effort to sign Saul from Atletico Madrid. However, the report claims that Chelsea’s bid to sign the Spain international hinges on whether the club can trim Thomas Tuchel’s other midfield options who are not part of the first-team plans. It’s understood that Atletico were willing to allow the midfielder to leave if their €45m (£38m) valuation was met. Saul has played in both of Atletico’s games in the new La Liga season so far and the Spanish champions have registered wins against Celta Vigo and Elch...

Chelsea have already signed perfect Romelu Lukaku partner but he could leave this summer

Chelsea are interested in signing Romelu Lukaku this summer and are ready to offer over £100m to make a move go through. The Inter Milan striker has become the top transfer target after Thomas Tuchel failed to convince Borussia Dortmund to part ways with Erling Haaland. The Belgian has become the top target at Stamford Bridge with the club desperate to bring in someone to score goals. It follows a season where Jorginho was their top scorer in the Premier League with seven - mainly penalties - while the likes of Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham toiled. Lukaku, on the other hand, netted 30 in all competitions as Inter Milan landed their first Serie A title in 10 years. Antonio Conte made the former Manchester United star his main man going forward, spearheading a side that contained several attacking talents such as Ivan Perisic, Lautaro Martinez and Christian Eriksen. But with Chelsea determined to sign the 28-year-old, Tuchel might finally get the striker he covets as he puts his own touc...

Chelsea legend calls for exiting player to return to Stamford Bridge

Image
  Well, we all needed a great distraction from the emotional rollercoaster of the last couple of days of the transfer window, right? Blues legend Didier Drogba certainly provided this yesterday when he posted his views about former winger Willian leaving Arsenal. I’m thinking he is trolling a little here, or at least that is what I am going to run with, but Drogba posted on his Twitter account for Willian to ‘come back home’ yesterday after he saw the news of him leaving Arsenal. Well Drogs, you’re a legend, but not sure too many Chelsea fans would share those views!
