It would not be a surprise if Chelsea did strengthen further at centre-back. The Athletic notes that they want Presnel Kimpembe and Jules Kounde. And they reached advanced talks with Nathan Ake before discussions broke down.

That is perhaps ominous for Colwill and his future with Chelsea. Clearly, the Blues indeed to bring in a marquee name at the back.

Arsenal, of course, lost one of their brightest talents in the last few days. Omari Hutchinson made the switch to Chelsea after looking destined to make the grade in North London.

Perhaps the Gunners could now return the favour by winning the race for a ‘‘ prospect themselves – should Colwill make it clear that it is time to move on.
