Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip that we think you guys may have missed –
CHELSEA are now getting closer to signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen – it has been claimed in the media
It is no secret that the club , have been one of the biggest spenders in the transfer windows over the last few seasons, and it is also no secret that Mauricio Pochettino wants to add a bit more quality to the side.
Despite the fact that some serious money has been spent, Pochettino has seen his side lack creativity and goals this season, which has ultimately meant that they have started the new season in poor fashion.
That has led to more suggestions in the media that we will once again delve into that transfer kitty in the January window and try to add a few new players, with Wirtz a man that the club now want, That is according to SPORT in Spain.

Look, Wirtz is a very exciting talent that has had a brilliant start to the new season, but he is not a man that will come in and make much of an impact for Pochettino, he needs to add some experience.
There are better players out there that we should sign, there are players on the market that have done alot more in the game and there are players out there that could make an impact now.

Despite the fact that some serious money has been spent, Pochettino has seen his side lack creativity and goals this season, which has ultimately meant that they have started the new season in poor fashion.
Musiala is one of the most dynamic, exciting and talented players in world football and a man that Bayern believe can get them back into the habit of winning that Champions League title.
However – we have been linked with a move for the man, and if you believe the words of Journalist Paul Brown, a fee over £87 million could get a deal done.
Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT: “Bayern have no obligation or urgency to sell. They don’t have to worry about it. Next year, what I think they’ll do instead is try to focus on seeing how they can extend that deal.
“But if somebody is to succeed in 2024, I think they’re going to have to put down well in excess of €85million or €90million, maybe even more than €100million, so £87m plus.
“I think that any top player like that will always have admiration because he is in that class of the next generation with an incredibly high ceiling. But, of course, Bayern know that, so I don’t see them just looking to cash in, financially, when they still see the player as highly valuable to their project.”
Ivan Toney Green light given?
CHELSEA are reportedly leading the race to sign Ivan Toney after it was claimed that Arsenal have made a big transfer decision
The Gunners spent heavily in the summer transfer window, breaking their own transfer record to sign Declan Rice from West Ham for a fee which could eventually rise to £105 million, while Goalkeeper David Raya, defender Jurrien Timber and the versatile Kai Havertz took Arsenal’s spending over the £200m mark.
According to recently reports on TEAMtalk,Arsenal are favourites to land Toney as they look to add a notable striker to Mikel Arteta’s squad, and the 27-year-old is believed to be a “huge fan” of the North Londoners.
This has “put Arsenal on the front foot in discussions” to sign the England international ahead of us, but that no longer seems to be the case if you believe the latest reports in the media.
According to reports in Spain cited by Goal, the north London side are “interested in Toney” but are unwilling to match the Bees £65m asking price in the January window, opening the door for the club to make a move.
IcChelseanews View…
Arsenal have been making some great signings over the last couple of transfer windows, but they are lacking that one striker that has the ability to score goals for fun and Toney could be that man.
If they sign the powerhouse, they will win that title over Man City. So if the reports are true and they have made the decision not to make a move for the man, it is great news for us.
