Chelsea are once again being linked with a move for Elliot Anderson, the sensational midfield talent tearing it up at Nottingham Forest.
We’re into the final third of the season now, and minds are already turning to the summer. Chelsea are going to be busy in the transfer market once again, it seems, as their dealing continues.
The Blues are being strongly linked with interest in Elliot Anderson, the brilliant Nottingham Forest midfielder who looks set to move on for a huge price this summer.
Sites like CaughtOffside are claiming that he’s going to be on the move, with Chelsea and Man U both keen. An asking price of £100m is vast – but given his talent, not totally crazy.
Chelsea could yet spend mega money on Anderson – but it still seems unlikely
It’s hard to know how to judge this one. Chelsea have spent £100m on two midfielders already. Clearly they’re willing to splash the cash if they think a player is an instant upgrade to the first team – and Anderson would be just that. He’s 23 and ready to enter his peak years. Unlike some of the big money rumours we see, this one feels possible.
However, purchases like that are a real rarity, even for Chelsea and it seems more likely they try and target someone younger and cheaper and try to develop them. But don’t rule this one out entirely just yet, especially if the Blues make some big sales.
