Chelsea continue to be associated with attackers from across Europe as Enzo Maresca gears up for his first pre-season as Blues head coach. Tasked with advancing the club following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Stamford Bridge, the Italian faces significant expectations. With Chelsea qualifying for the Conference League, Maresca will have European matches to utilize for team development. However, there is an urgent need for stability in West London. Todd Boehly has seen numerous tacticians come and go, along with interim managers. For a club of Chelsea’s caliber, they cannot afford to languish in mid-table or struggle for European qualification. Maresca’s hiring brings excitement despite the challenging circumstances following Pochettino’s exit. Michael Olise is among the forwards speculated to be moving to Chelsea, and while the European Championships take the spotlight, the transfer market remains active. With that in mind, football.london has reviewed the latest Chelsea transfer news and rumors… Chelsea and Liverpool compete for £35m attacker Liverpool is reportedly challenging Chelsea for Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville. The Dutch winger has been linked with a move from Elland Road after Leeds failed to secure a prompt return to the Premier League following their relegation in the 2022/23 season. According to Leeds Live, Liverpool, now under new management with Arne Slot replacing Jurgen Klopp, are vying for the 22-year-old’s services after his standout season in West Yorkshire, where he won the Championship Player of the Year award despite missing promotion. Summerville is valued at around £35 million and is keen on a Premier League move. Chelsea are also pursuing Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, and their interest in Summerville indicates their intent to strengthen their attack after a challenging season for Raheem Sterling. football.london comments: “Summerville was the standout performer in the Championship last season, so it is unsurprising that many clubs are interested in him. Liverpool’s interest coincides with speculation about Luis Diaz’s potential move to Barcelona. For Chelsea, signing Summerville amid Leeds’ predicament could be the perfect chance to acquire a talented player.”
