Latest News and Transfer Rumors for Chelsea and Tottenham

As the new season approaches, both Chelsea and Tottenham are actively strengthening their squads. Chelsea is currently in the United States for pre-season friendlies, while Tottenham is having a productive time in Japan.

With time running out, we expect several new arrivals at both clubs. Here’s a roundup of the latest news and transfer rumors for both teams.

Federico Chiesa Update
Chelsea has reportedly initiated talks for Juventus star and Tottenham target, Federico Chiesa. According to Team Talk, the Blues are in discussions with Chiesa’s agent, exploring a potential transfer.

Chiesa, who has been offered to Premier League clubs, is demanding £130,000 per week. Juventus is seeking around £20 million for the winger, with his asking price having dropped significantly recently.

Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy indicate that Chiesa’s agent has already traveled to London for discussions with Tottenham, intensifying the race for his signature.

Scott McTominay Suggestion
Former Tottenham player Alan Hutton has suggested that Spurs should target Manchester United’s Scott McTominay, as Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher seems out of reach.

Speaking to Football Insider, Hutton praised McTominay’s high-energy style and goal-scoring ability, especially when allowed to play forward, as he does for Scotland.

He believes McTominay’s attributes would make him a valuable addition to Tottenham under Ange Postecoglou. Hutton estimates that McTominay’s transfer fee would likely be £30 million or more, considering his experience and age.

Andy Townsend has predicted that Chelsea may finish outside the top six this season, citing uncertainty following the managerial change. Speaking to TalkSPORT,

Townsend expressed that Chelsea will be hard to predict but expects them to miss out on the top four and potentially finish just outside the top six.
