For several weeks now, Aranda name don dey linked with possible move to Chelsea. The West London club don dey pay particular attention to the South American market since the Clearlake Capital takeover for 2022, and dem sabi the 19-year-old potential well well.
El Intransigente report say the Blues still dey keep tabs on the Argentine despite the injury. Arsenal and Napoli also dey credited with interest in the player.
