🚨 Keep an eye on Josh Acheampong! He's someone Frank Lampard would like to take to Coventry.

🚨 Enzo Maresca asked about the 5pm Enzo Fernandez deadline and whether City will do any business today:

"Not today to be honest. I don't think we're going to do something today."

🚨 Enzo Maresca on Enzo Fernandez: "I have to give you the same answer since day one and it will always be the same; it's a player from another club and I don't think it's correct to speak about other players. At the same time, I don't think it's correct when other clubs speak about our players. That's why I'm not going to say nothing about players that are not with us here” ( Via @City_Xtra)

🚨As of today, the message from Chelsea is Enzo Fernandez will not even be available in the January window if no agreement can be found before 5pm today.

🚨 No bids still from Manchester City for Enzo, but we need to be attentive every second, every minute as the story could change, let’s see what happens. (@FabrizioRomano)

🚨 Benoit Badiashile to Napoli – HERE WE GO! ✅️

Verbal agreement done with Chelsea: £2.5m loan fee, plus £850k in add-ons and a £23m buy option clause. The salary is also covered.

‼️Celtic closing in on a loan for Chelsea’s Landon Emenalo.

[EOA @EOA_FT]

@Blue_Footy If Enzo leaves, I’d rather see Reece James in midfield than watch Chelsea panic-buy another £60m midfielder who doesn’t fit.
Caicedo + James could be ridiculous.

[EOA @EOA_FT]

🚨 There had been a feeling that City could have done a deal for Enzo Fernandez for £105m all in, but Chelsea have informed them it’s £120m or nothing, by Friday. (@MiguelDelaney)

[EOA @EOA_FT]

@Alvan812 @CFCMods “Santos is not that player yet” isn’t really the gotcha you think it is. The argument is that Chelsea already had a midfielder with the tools to grow into that role. You can disagree, but “I doubt you guys watch our games” cuts both ways.

[EOA @EOA_FT]

@LucidRavyn @CFCMods Lol, that’s exactly the point. Santos wouldn’t have been the replacement for Enzo — the argument is that Chelsea already had a midfielder with the profile they’ll now have to spend big to find.

[EOA @EOA_FT]

🚨 No official bid for Enzo yet. Chelsea stance is £120m, no euros, payment terms already clarified. (@FabrizioRomano)

[EOA @EOA_FT]

🚨JUST IN: Napoli are looking to finalise an initial loan deal for Benoit Badiashile that includes an option to buy.

Napoli value Badiashile at £17m and are willing to pay a £2.5m loan fee. Chelsea value Badiashile at £30m. [Sky]

@mondymorningraw @CFCMods ok, what do I know?

Stamford Bridge is calling. 🏡📞

@JacobsBen If Enzo Fernández actually leaves for Manchester City, I wouldn't try to replace him with a like-for-like €100m superstar. Chelsea already have Caicedo, Lavia and other midfield options, so I'd target someone who complements Caicedo rather than recreates Enzo.
