Chelsea supporters in the Transfer Tavern are excited with the current transfer speculation surrounding the club.
Having already announced the signings of Willy Caballero and Antonio Rudiger, the Blues are relentlessly pursuing the signature of a striker, as Diego Costa is likely to leave according to our landlord. Sky Sports report that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been offered to the Champions for £70M. Additionally, the club is closing in on the signing of Tiemoué Bakayoko from Monaco for a reported fee of £40M, as Conte looks to retain his Premier League crown.

With these additions, the Blues could become competitive challengers in Europe once more, the return of Champions League football has illustrated the requirement for greater squad depth. Nonetheless, Aubameyang and Bakayoko won’t be enough to achieve these ambitions and Conte requires even more signings to give his side the best possible chance of success. Our landlord has highlighted two players that could follow Aubameyang to Chelsea this Summer.
Keita Baldé Diao
Pedro did magnificently well for the Blues last season, and he scored several crucial goals in Chelsea’s successful quest for the Premier League title. At the age of 29, questions linger regarding his ability to maintain his excellent performances for a lengthy period. Additionally, competition is always a useful method of ensuring that a player produces the very best of his abilities.
Keita Baldé Diao is reportedly keen to depart Lazio, and Chelsea could prove to be the perfect destination. His arrival could force Hazard to the right flank. Nonetheless, Chelsea would be signing a 22-year-old who scored 16 goals in Serie A last season, the same total that Hazard achieved in the Premier League. If Diao can emulate the success he’s attained in Italy at Chelsea, Conte could have a tremendous young talent at his disposal.
Danilo
Victor Moses was widely regarded as one of the main stories of last season, discarded by Chelsea on three separate occasions to Premier League clubs, Antonio Conte transformed the Nigerian into one of the league’s most prominent wing-backs. The 26-year-old’s pace and physicality meant that he attained the perfect qualities to become the Champions’ right wing-back. While Moses did incredibly well last season, he was devoid of serious competition for his place; this could be provided with the arrival of Danilo.
Before his move to Real Madrid, Danilo was regarded as one of the best full-backs in football, he had shone during his time in Portugal, with Porto. Much to his dismay, he failed to replicate the same form at the Spanish giants, nonetheless the quality he displayed remains untainted. Under Conte’s cultured guidance, Danilo could resurrect the dazzling form he produced in Porto. His presence would enhance the quality of Conte’s defence.
