Chelsea submit £70M offer – Blues in talks to get £60M deal done – Tuchel told to sign striker
Chelsea in Hudson-Odoi talks – Chelsea make Fofana offer – Blues told to sign striker in Chelsea news of the day –
Premier League legend Alan Shearer says Chelsea need to splash the cash and sign a striker this summer.
Chelsea started their season against Everton over the weekend- and have seen a number of new stars come through the door at Stamford Bridge that have improved the side
But these are still not enough for Tuchel, who has reportedly described his squad as average – and he is keen to keep adding to the side in order to compete for that Premier League title
It is now secret that the German boss wants to add another striker to that attack and has been linked with so many big names over the past few months – but so far – no deal has been done
Romelu Lukaku has already left the club for Inter Milan on loan – Timo Werner has also proven unreliable in the striker department – and is heavily tipped to leave the club – while Armando Broja is still learning the game
But despite many calls for Chelsea to give Broja the chance in that Chelsea attack – Shearer says he isn’t ready.
Speaking after the 20-year-old came off the bench in Chelsea’s Prem opener against Everton, Shearer said: “I think they’ve made some very good signings.
“But, like Everton, there is no doubt that Chelsea need that [centre] forward as well.
“I know they’ve got [Armando] Broja, but it might take time for him, and in the meantime, they’ve lost [Romelu] Lukaku, they need [to bring in] a centre-forward.”

All the big clubs in the Premier League now have strikers that could score 20-goals a season – Chelsea do not have that
There is plenty of time left in the transfer window to add a striker to the side – so the Blues need to hurry up and find a solution or they will not be challenging for the Premier League title this season
Chelsea make Fofana offer –
It has again been claimed that Chelsea have submitted a massive £70 million offer for Leicester City star Wesley Fofana
Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Gabriel Slonina and Kalidou Koulibaly are the only three players that has arrived this summer – although the young American is not ready for the first tea, just yet
Thomas Tuchel knows that he needs to add a couple more defenders to the side over the next few weeks – with reports that the German wants to find a long-term replacement for the aging Thiago Silva
And there are still many rumours in the media that the club are very interested in a deal for Fofana
Leicester have set an asking price of a fee in the region of £80m to £85m – as they do not want to lose the player this summer – but that has not stopped Chelsea from making their moves for the player
It has been claimed in the SUN that Chelsea have submitted a massive £70 million offer for Fofana in hope that Leicester would be willing to sell – but so far – the Foxes have rejected that offer
The Foxes know they could get alot more and will not sell unless their asking price is met
Amid all the speculation – Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has come out and stated that he is happy with the defender’s attitude amidst all the speculation – Rodgers said: “I think it’s always a challenging time until the window shuts.
“There’s always speculation and gossip around players leaving but I always assess the players every day and if their mentality and commitment doesn’t change, then that’s all you want.”

Fofana is a brilliantly gifted young defender that could have a big future in the game – but he is not worth £70 million – Chelsea would be fools to pay that much
There are alot more experienced players out there that would be worth it – so as we said – they would be crazy to pay that amount for the Leicester ace
Chelsea on Hudson-Odoi talks
It seems that Callum Hudson-Odoi will be leaving Chelsea after the club opened talks with Borussia Dortmund about a potential move
The English winger, 21, was considered one of the hottest properties in world football just a few years ago – and a player that was tipped to become one of the very best in the world
His performances even attracted the interested of German Champions Bayern Munich – who were ready to make him one of their highest-paid players at the age of just 18, but he signed a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
Many fans then believed he would go on and develop into that world class star that many believed he would become – but he has not reached nowhere near those heights yet – and struggles to even get in the starting eleven.
And after the arrival of Raheem Sterling in the summer window and more talk that there could be another striker signed – he has fallen further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge – and is not happy
And after reports emerged in the media claiming that Huddson-Odoi has told the club he wants out – the SUN have now claimed that Borussia Dortmund have started talks with Chelsea over a deal for the winger
The Germans wanted Hudson-Odoi last summer, but the winger opted to stay in hope that he could make more of an impact on the side – but that has not worked out and they now have a chance to finally secure the lads signature

It has been seen in recent seasons that the best young English talents in the game leave the Premier League and make a name for themselves abroad – so this would be a great move for Odoi
Dortmund are a massive club and will give the lad the game time he wants – it would be a quality move for the lad
