Lagos, Nigeria – Na final season we dey enter and Chelsea don open their wallet like say na Christmas! Dem dey explore options to sign two strikers dis summer, and dem don dey follow Borussia Dortmund for Jamie Gittens like person wey wan follow fresh jollof! Dortmund dey hold tight for €70m (£60m) for Gittens, but Chelsea no dey in a rush to complete di deal since di boy dey cup-tied for World Cup knockout stages. E no go fit play as dem dey find world trophy, but una know say, dem still dey reason am as serious option.
Meanwhile, dem get backup plans too. Lyon’s Malick Fofana dey shine like diamond for dem radar after Jadon Sancho pack come back from im loan season wahala. This move fit sweet Chelsea like original Naija pepper soup, but na just if dem fit shake hands with Fofana falls na wash hand and no go oily.
Chelsea dey also consider to sign versatile forward to boost dem squad, but according to insider gists, dis one no be priority – dem room na fit dey for Christopher Nkunku if dem fit sell am go market. Joao Pedro and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike dey among options dem dey check out. But abeg, don’t even go there, Randal Kolo Muani go just dey chill for sidelines for now (no vex for am, maybe next time).
Other movements wey concern goalkeepers, left-backs, and centre-backs dey happen too, but e go all depend on wetin dem fit sell from di current squad. Chelsea bin dey offered to sign for £25m but dem quickly say no – like say dem no dey chop that type money for their booth! Una fit trust say dem dey ok with Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, and new kid on di block, Mike Penders.
Dis season, Chelsea wan make slight adjustment to get di team younger than Hollywood, no be like 2022 and 2023 wey e be like dem dey fight things for transfer market. Dem fit sign only two or three senior players to balance in terms of quality and vibes.
But wait! Bayern Munich don land gists say dem dey consider to jump Chelsea for di Jamie Gittens deal. Maybe dem wan come flex muscle like say dem too dey jolly with big money (but who no like fresh player?).
As dem grow dem summer spending to around £175m, Chelsea dey sharp as dem plan for Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup. Dem don drop £65m already giddy-giddy for signings like Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, and Mike Penders but dem no dey stop for di hustle.
Mohammed Kudus be next on dem list and dem don talk to West Ham United for am. Di boy get release clause dey reach £85m, but West Ham dey open for negotiation – who no like easy money? Kudus fit dey versatile wey fit play different roles, e go fit slot anywhere wey na attack.
Chelsea don finally get verbal agreement with Jamie Gittens. E dey interested to come back to England, even as Dortmund dey play tough guy for di negotiation table. Dem don reject Chelsea first offer of £42m, but gists dey show say dem dey close for deal of around £50m, and soon, Chelsea go drop fresh offer like fresh cake.
As dem try to position demself under Enzo Maresca, dem no dey lose sight of wetin Liverpool dey do too, as dem don spend around £150m, looking to hit £190m. Chelsea dey ready to clap back sharply.
If dem fit grab two from dem three high-profile players wey dem dey target, dem total summer spending go reach £175m and e fit go higher. Chelsea go dey confirmed for all angles with Gittens, Kudus, Pedro, and Simons wey dey ready to shake up pitch come 2025-26!
