World class Frenchman ‘WILL BE MARQUEE SIGNING’ – Chelsea wants deal done!

Chelsea could be in the market for a left-back this summer as Enzo Maresca looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season, and Theo Hernandez is on the list of potential signings.

According to HITC, Chelsea are willing to let one of Ben Chilwell or Marc Cucurella go if AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez is brought in this summer as they look to keep on improving that defence.

Chelsea were awful in that back-line last season and it really cost them in their quest to get back into those Champions League spots – and also cost Mauricio Pochettino his job after just one campaign as the Blues coach.

Theo Hernandez is regarded as one of the best attacking left-backs in the game – and is a man that Chelsea have been chasing for quite a few seasons – but have so far been unable to get AC Milan to sell one of the clubs best players.

So, what has Hernandez said about his future? The defender was asked about his plans earlier this week and he remained tight-lipped: “Whether I will stay at Milan or leave, we will see later,” he said. “We’ll see later whether I stay or not. At the moment I’m only focused on the European Championship.”

Reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘He have seen so many players linked with CHELSEA that are simply not good enough for the club – that are not ready to make any sort of impact and that would struggle in the Premier League, Hernandez is certainly a player that could impress.

He is one of the very best defenders in Europe and a player that could make a real impact at the club – he would certainly be a marquee signing for Maresca.

So if they are able to get a deal done for the man, he would be a quality signing.’
