Chelsea’s transfer activity has seemingly attracted the attention of Manchester City, who are reportedly readying a bid for Ben Chilwell ahead of the summer window.
The Chelsea boss is spoilt for choice with his options in attack with Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Hakim Ziyech, Noni Madueke, Armando Broja, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and David Datro Fofana now fighting for starting spots.
