Chelsea open talks to sign two players on deadline day but Todd Boehly suffers Neymar transfer blow as priority before deadline

 




Chelsea have opened talks to sign AC Milan forward Rafael Leao and Dynamo Moscow midfielder Arsen Zakharyan but have been told that Neymar won’t be leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Under new owner Todd Boehly, the Blues have already smashed the British spending record for a single transfer window.


Thomas Tuchel has welcomed the likes of Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly to his squad at Stamford Bridge but is keen to bolster his ranks further before the summer window closes on Thursday night.


Chelsea have endured a mixed start to the new season and slipped to a second defeat against Southampton last night.

It was reported on Wednesday that Chelsea were interested in signing Brazilian superstar Neymar but The Times say PSG are now refusing to sell.

As a result, it is claimed that Chelsea have turned their attentions to other targets and are now in talks for AC Milan’s Leao and Dynamo Moscow’s Zakharyan.


Portugal international Leao, 23, impressed in Italy last season and is believed to be keen on a move to the Premier League.
