🚨💣 Chelsea are interested in signing both Martín Zubimendi and Alex Scott, but could only afford to bring in one of the two midfielders.
Arsenal are demanding €80m (£67m), including add-ons, for Zubimendi, while Bournemouth are reportedly valuing Scott at £100m.
Do either of these midfielders justify such hefty price tags, or are they being overvalued?
If you had to choose one for Chelsea, who would you go for? 👀
🚨💣 Alex Scott vs Martín Zubimendi's Premier League stats last season, and the numbers reveal two midfielders with very different strengths.
Zubimendi comes out ahead in passing accuracy, tackles, interceptions and ball retention, while Scott leads in chances created, successful dribbles, recoveries, shots and overall creative involvement.
Chelsea are reportedly interested in both players but could only sign one, with Zubimendi valued at €80m (£67m), including add-ons, while Bournemouth are demanding £100m for Scott.
Considering their performances, playing styles and asking prices, who would be the better signing for Chelsea? 🤔
🚨💣 CHELSEA'S RESULTS WITHOUT JOÃO PEDRO ARE A REAL C0NCEŔN.
Just look at Chelsea's results since João Pedro has been unavailable:
🔴 Tottenham 2-0 Chelsea
🔴 Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea (Liverpool won 6-5 on penalties)
🟢 Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United
🔴 Sunderland 1-0 Chelsea
📊 JUST 3 GOALS SCORED IN FOUR GAMES.
This is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
João Pedro is not just another striker in this team.
His m0vement, link-up play, creativity and ability to connect midfield with attack make him one of Chelsea's most important players.
His absence has exp0sed a serious problem: we don't seem to have a reliable alternative who can offer similar qualities and keep the att@ck funct10ning.
I don't want Chelsea to become a team that depends on one player to create attacking solutions.
Alonso needs more options, and the club must seriously consider bringing in a dependable striker who can step up whenever João Pedro is unavailable.

🚨💣 Nicolas Jackson is suddenly becoming a topic of conversation again after scoring more Premier League goals this season than any Chelsea player.
He was often criticised for missing chances, but his contribution went beyond goals. His pace, movement and work rate gave Chelsea important attacking options.
Selling him was one decision, but failing to replace his qualities is where the club may have made a mistake.

🚨💣 BREAKING! Chelsea are reportedly considering a January move for Arsenal midfielder Martín Zubimendi. 👀
The 27-year-old Spaniard is said to be pushing for an exit, with Chelsea having previously shown interest in signing him during the summer as Xabi Alonso remains keen on a reunion. 🔵

🚨💣 CHELSEA COULD BE SET FOR A MAJOR JANUARY TRANSFER REVOLUTION!
Xabi Alonso is reportedly looking at making significant changes to his Chelsea squad when the January transfer window opens. The Blues are said to have several potential targets in mind, while a number of current players could also be heading towards the exit door. 👀
🔵 PLAYERS LINKED WITH A MOVE TO CHELSEA:
▪️ William Saliba – €95m
▪️ Alex Scott – €80m
▪️ Evanilson – €30m
▪️ Gabriel Gudmundsson – €15m
🔴 PLAYERS WHO COULD LEAVE:
▪️ Malo Gusto – €55m
▪️ Wesley Fofana – €35m
▪️ Jamie Gittens – €75m
▪️ Geovany Quenda – Loan
💙 Alonso appears to be considering a significant squad reshuffle as he looks to strengthen certain positions and build a team capable of competing for major honours in the second half of the campaign.
Bringing in William Saliba would certainly add quality and stability to Chelsea’s defence, but the possibility of losing some of these players could divide the fanbase.
