Transfer Signing: Chelsea switch 23yo transfer signing as Marina Granovskaia makes new call

Chelsea transfer chief Marina Granovskaia has reportedly moved away from signing Federico Chiesa from Juventus with contact made on a new target. The Blues head into the new season in just a few weeks with no new signings yet to join Thomas Tuchel's side.

Roman Abramovich is apparently happy to back Tuchel in the transfer market though after leading the club to Champions League glory back in March.

Signing a new out-and-out striker is seen as a top priority with Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Erling Haaland all linked.

Borussia Dortmund have made it clear that any move to sign Haaland will take a huge offer while Tottenham are also reluctant to letting Kane walk away for anything less than £150million.

And Lukaku has indicated that he's happy to stay at Inter Milan for the new season, meaning Chelsea may have to look elsewhere.

But bolstering Chelsea's options in the wide areas is also an objective for Chelsea in the transfer window.
