Exciting star ‘being blocked’ from officially signing with Chelsea, while Wright makes Premier League claim

Chelsea are reportedly being blocked in their attempt to sign Anel Ahmedhodzic from Malmo his father claims.

Ahmedhodzic, 21, has caught the eye of the club who have been monitoring his performances along with a host of other European clubs over the past few months, and there has been some speculation that the Blues are trying to secure a deal and win the race.

It is said that PSV Eindhoven and AC Milan are also interested in him and have sent scouts to watch him play, but His father Mirsad believes we are willing to prise his son away from the Swedish club for a fee of £6.9million.

However, he thinks the deal is being blocked by his son’s representative Markus Rosenberg who refuses to listen to their offers, he was quoted on the SUN: “He’s [Rosenberg] not doing his job. He has told Marina [Granovskaia] at Chelsea that Anel is not going there. He [Anel] wants to go abroad after the season finishes.”

Meanwhile, Ian Wright believes we have what it takes to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title this season.

There has been alot said about the start to the new season that this side have had after spending so much money in the transfer window, but we are now starting to keep the clean-sheets and the score the goals that many expected from Lampards’ side.

Wright was asked if Frank Lampard’s side could be a threat to Liverpool or Man City, and he told Premier League Productions: “Yes, with what they’ve got.

“But like we said there’s a little bit of fitting the pieces together and I think the goalkeeper [Edouard Mendy], Thiago Silva, [Hakim] Ziyech coming in, [Kai] Havertz coming in, Werner coming in – I think those players and the quality and the standard of those players yes they should be [challenging for the title].

And Arsenal icon Wright has been impressed with Chelsea’s recruitment in the summer and has backed them to challenge for the Premier League crown.

When asked if Frank Lampard’s side could be a threat to Liverpool or Man City, Wright told Premier League Productions: “Yes, with what they’ve got.

“But like we said there’s a little bit of fitting the pieces together and I think the goalkeeper [Edouard Mendy], Thiago Silva, [Hakim] Ziyech coming in, [Kai] Havertz coming in, Werner coming in – I think those players and the quality and the standard of those players yes they should be [challenging for the title].
