Chelsea fans have been eagerly anticipating the confirmation of their new manager, and reports suggest that today may be the day. Enzo Maresca, currently the manager of Leicester City, is expected to be announced as the new head of Chelsea following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino. While the weekend passed without an official announcement, it appears that the wait may finally be over.
According to Football.london, there have been no issues with Maresca’s deal, and it was simply a matter of finalising the compensation details. Additionally, rumours have been circulating about Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo choosing Chelsea over Newcastle United. Adarabioyo, who was previously with Manchester City, is expected to be a new option for Chelsea following the departure of Thiago Silva.
In addition to potential new signings, there is speculation that City midfielder James McAtee could be on Chelsea’s radar. It is understood that Maresca had considered McAtee as an option for Leicester City in the summer, but is now looking to add him to Chelsea’s wanted list.
As we eagerly await the official confirmation of Maresca as Chelsea’s new manager, there are also updates on potential transfers and rumours as the summer window opening looms in the next two weeks.
Maresca’s potential arrival at Chelsea could see him bring in his own choices with Willy Caballero, Danny Walker, Michele De Bernardin, Marcos Alvarez, Javier Molina Caballero, and Roberto Vitiello joining him from Leicester. These additions will integrate with Chelsea’s existing coaching staff, including Ben Roberts, Hilario, and Bernardo Cueva.
Looking at the potential signing of Adarabioyo, it is reported that this move has no bearing on the future of Trevor Chalobah, who is the current first-team option for Chelsea. The club is making positive strides towards securing Adarabioyo, who is expected to become the first summer signing for Chelsea.
But amidst the excitement, there is also interest in who Chelsea might sign this summer. Some of the players bet365 punters believe will join Chelsea include Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Victor Osimhen from Napoli, and Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
It seems that there is certainly a lot to look forward to for Chelsea fans, with the anticipation building for the official announcement of Enzo Maresca as the new manager, and the potential new signings that could follow in the summer. With the Premier League transfer window fast approaching, it will be interesting to see how the team shapes up for the upcoming season.
