Chelsea push for a £52 million deal as the future of Tosin at the club becomes very uncertain. The centre back once seemed to be a part of Chelsea’s long term project, but he now faces doubts about his role. Maresca’s play style clearly indicates that he doesn’t have a role for Tosin in the squad. With Tosin’s recent form, it’s not surprising at all that Maresca doesn’t have any plans for him. Despite the tough time, Tosin is expected to fight for his position in the club.
Why Chelsea are ready to move from Tosin
Chelsea signed Tosin from Fulham 2 seasons ago. Chelsea’s management felt very satisfied with the performance he was putting up in Fulham. They signed Tosin as a long-term investment to cover up the gap that Thiago Silva left. But since joining Chelsea, Tosin’s form has never been the same. The former Fulham defender had very limited game time in both the seasons. With Colwill’s injury, the fans thought this might be the opportunity for Tosin to show Maresca what he is capable of. Unfortunately, Tosin didn’t live up to the expectation and Chalobah took the chance. Maresca has no role for Tosin as they already have many centre backs as their options, and they are considering letting Tosin leave the club. The English defender is rumored to leave the club at the end of the season.
The £52m Target: Who Chelsea Want Next after Tosin
Todd Bohley wants to increase the depth of the squad after releasing Tosin. Maresca and Chelsea’s management have some key players in mind. Chelsea have shown a huge interest in the RB Leipzig player Yan Diomande, who is enjoying his best season with the Bundesliga side. Maresca is pushing for this signing, though Liverpool are leading the race and expect to finalize the deal within the next few months. Another key player they are looking for is Yildiz. Yildiz had one of the best seasons last year, but this year he has already managed to overtake his own records. The Turkiye talent has caught several eyes across Europe. If Yildiz comes to the Bridge, Chelsea will have one of the most stacked attacking players in whole Europe, with players like Palmer, Enzo, and Caicedo providing assists to the young talent. But as of now, no one can help Chelsea like Castello Lukeba. The Blues are ready to submit a bid of 52 million Euros for the French defender. His physicality and calmness impressed Chelsea a lot. But it’s not so easy for Chelsea as Bayern have also joined the race for the French defender.
Fans React to Chelsea’s Defensive Shake-Up
The fans are filled with mixed emotions following Chelsea’s move towards their backline. Many fans believe that they need a stronger and more defensive back as they are having very inconsistent results lately. Others feel that Tosin never received enough playtime to establish himself as a top player. Social media is full of debates over the latest news.
