Report: Premier League duo emerge as Chelsea targets, fans unlikely to be happy | OneFootball

Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are both targets for Chelsea according to reports.

The Blues are once again set for a busy summer and could fund their business by selling as many as seven or eight players.

Chelsea face a critical window as they look to sign a striker, centre back and right footed attacker to strengthen Enzo Maresca’s squad.

Mainoo and Garnacho still Chelsea targets

There’s expected to be a lot of movement in both directions at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues already linked with a host of names.

Chelsea have been strongly linked with Liam Delap, whilst they are thought to be leading the race for Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens.

The Blues will be looking at a number of players before deciding who they want to move for, and Mail Sport have reported Mainoo and Garnacho are still targets.

The report adds the duo would make United the most PSR profit due to them both being products of the club’s academy.

Chelsea were strongly linked with Garnacho in January, but decided against making a move for the Argentine winger, who’s scored ten goals and registered nine assists in 51 appearances in all competitions.

The 20-year-old still lacks consistency which you’d expect at his age, but for the price being touted the Blues could get better value elsewhere.

Mainoo is an interesting one as the last thing Chelsea seemingly need is another midfielder, so why the Blues are linked with him doesn’t make much sense.

The England international was surprisingly linked with Chelsea in January, and that interest seemingly hasn’t gone away.

Mainoo has had injury problems this season which have limited him to 29 appearances in all competitions, whilst he’s scored twice and registered one assist.

Neither signing makes an awful lot of sense, but then a lot of things Chelsea have done in the transfer market over the last few years hasn’t, although there seems to be a consensus amongst fans that neither of these players are needed.
