Chelsea in talks to sign midfielder that will replace £58M star – Blues already spotted in Italy!
It has been claimed that Chelsea are looking at signing an immediate replacement for Romeo Lavia – and have reportedly opened talks to bring in another midfielder to the club in the coming transfer windows.
It is just over a year that Lavia completed a £58m move to Stamford Bridge, joining the Blues from relegated Southampton, as the the 20-year-old put pen to paper on a staggering seven-year contract.
But his time at Stamford Bridge has simply not worked out and he has spent alot more time trying to get fit than he has playing in that midfield – which has led to alot of speculation about his long-term future at the Blues.
Now – According to Tuttomercatoweb, Chelsea now have their eyes on Hellas Verona’s Reda Belahyane. The report says that club scouts were in attendance for Friday night’s 2-1 win over Venezia.
Belahyane’s idol is former CHELSEA star N’Golo Kante, who he tries to base his game off. He has become a key player for the Serie A side since moving from Nice back in January.
Theo Walcott recently claimed that the former Southampton team-mate Romeo Lavia should have joined Liverpool instead of Chelsea: ‘He’s a very talented footballer,’ Walcott said on BBC Radio 5 Live. ‘He trained his heart out, probably trained too much. He had a serious injury and obviously missed a whole year.
‘There were talks of him going to Chelsea or Liverpool, and I thought, right, as a player, this is perfect.
‘Liverpool would be the perfect club for right now because the midfield was rebuilding at that particular time. Players can, of course, make their choice, but as a career path, he’s stagnated a little bit.
‘The new manager [Maresca] has come in, he’s brought in Dewsbury-Hall, you’ve got Conor Gallagher – similar players to some extent.
‘With the number of players they are signing, good players just won’t get a chance. They just won’t be seen at Chelsea.
‘They’ll be sent out on loan to lower league clubs and not appear. I am worried Romeo Lavia will just be one of those Chelsea players that will just be gone, and you won’t hear much about.’

The move to Chelsea, or any big club, came far too early for the young man and now we are seeing that he is really struggling to make an impact. He is at CHELSEA, so it doesnt really matter that he should have signed for Liverpool is it?
But he could be forced to move if another player comes in.
