Chelsea prepare double transfer announcement as Pochettino continues £350m spend

Chelsea have spent over £300million in the summer transfer window following their £600million spend on new signings last season.

 

 

Chelsea are set to confirm two transfers ahead of their next Premier League clash against Luton Town on Friday evening. The Blues have already spent over £300million this summer taking their total spend on new signings in the last 12 months to over £900million.

 

 

There are still expected to be multiple departures in the final stages of the transfer window with the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Callum Hudson-Odoi looking to leave Stamford Bridge on permanent deals. The futures of Trevoh Chalobah and Conor Gallagher remain uncertain heading into the final nine days of the summer transfer window.

 

 

Chelsea are now expecting to sign goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic from New England Revolution. Reports on Monday stated that the Blues have agreed a deal with the MLS club – believed to be around £12.5million, plus another £1.5million in add-ons.

 

 

Petrovic is set to fly to England in the coming days and finalise a move to Chelsea with a medical scheduled to take place before the Blues’ match on Friday against Luton Town. The 23-year-old shot-stopper will not be the only signing set to be confirmed this week with Deivid Washington having already completed a medical and an announcement said to be ‘soon’, as per Fabrizio Romano.

 

 

Mohammed Kudus and Rayan Cherki remain under consideration by the Blues, but other targets are being monitored. A deal to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace fell through last week.
