In other news, Monaco is trying to sign Moukoko.
Wonder if Chelsea goes in here given the insistence from journalists that they will sign an ST this summer.
There were those rumors a while ago that they had interest.
Guiu has been good, but very raw. He needs to be playing more and he won’t usurp Jackson at his current level.

Can’t be understated how much Chelsea have messed up at wing & CB.
The new formation means Madueke is the only RW (and he sucks) and Mudryk/Sterling are our only LWs. Sterling sucks and Mudryk will most likely never put it together.
Instantly completely neutered. Olise was heavily needed.
And then at CB, Badiashile has been bad for a year, Disasi is unlikely to ever be a fit for Maresca, Fofana is coming off injuries that limit his long term potential & short term ability to contribute, and you’ve lost Thiago Silva.
The Tosin signing makes sense given it was a free and the coach knows the player - allows you to make a sale somewhere else. But, that’s a backup. And then Anselmino, totally justifiable. But they needed a first team CB badly.
It seems as though Chilwell isn’t going to fit tactically. I posted about one of the Chelsea journalists openly “predicting” this about this a week ago and it seems to have materialized early, but it’s still early.
He was an immense player early for Chelsea but the last two years - when fit - have been horror shows constantly. Those tuchel teams - so much of the offense came from Kante, Reece, and Chilwell. I still think there’s a quality player in there if he can remain fit and get consistent game time given what he’s shown in the past
