Chelsea are not going to make any first team winger additions unless two players move on – but youngsters could yet be added.

Ben Jacobs did a long stint on the CFCHub Twitch stream last night, which produced a lot of interesting quotes about Chelsea’s transfer plans in the rest of this window.

There have been a lot of successful moves so far, with a number of players coming in, and there are a few sales already lined up and close to going through. Jacobs reports back on a few of them.

Chelsea winger situation summed up

Mykhailo Mudryk trains in his first session back at Chelsea

One of the most interesting topics was the winger situation. Right now there are a lot of options, with the surprise return of Mykhailo Mydryk adding another body we have to decide what to do with.

Jacobs says the Blues aren’t signing a new winger, and that won’t change unless Mudryk leaves on a loan and Pedro Neto (linked in the past few days to Man City) goes too.

That extends to first team options – however they’re still looking at young prospects and “talents” as part of their ongoing BlueCo quest to own all the best young players. To us, that smells like a roll of the dice on a youngster who could go to Strasbourg.

In other news…

Austin MacPhee is an exciting off the field addition to Chelsea this summer, and it shouldn’t take long to start to see his impact on the team.

Chelsea have been quoting Man City a £70m asking price for Pedro Neto – a pretty reasonable sum but also one we think the Blues would take.
