As the curtain is about to rise on a new Premier League campaign, Chelsea are wasting no time ensuring their squad is primed for action. The West London club are closing in on three significant transfers this week, as the summer window heats up.
In a notable switch, Armando Broja is on the cusp of joining Burnley, the newcomers to the Premier League. The Albanian international appears set to ink a five-year deal with the Clarets. Sources suggest that Burnley’s project resonated strongly with Broja, despite attractive interest from some German quarters.
Meanwhile, Spanish attacker Marc Guiu is preparing to make his way to another top-flight debutant. Sunderland are nearing the completion of a loan agreement for Guiu, who will bolster their attack at the Stadium of Light for the forthcoming season.
Chelsea’s transfer team are also poised to intensify efforts to secure Dutch starlet Xavi Simons. Despite mounting concern among fans over a lack of updates on this deal, there’s optimism that Simons is destined for Stamford Bridge. Personal terms with the 22-year-old are reportedly all but agreed, though discussions over a transfer fee continue.
Looking further afield, Chelsea remain intrigued by the prospect of adding a new left winger to their ranks. Alejandro Garnacho, currently out of favour at Manchester United, has been a longstanding target. The 21-year-old Argentine is reportedly eager to join Chelsea, and with interest seeming constant, a swoop could be in the offing later this summer.
