Chelsea considering offering last minute swap deal to sign £40m Aston Villa player

Chelsea have been one of the most active Premier League clubs in the transfer window this summer and their business isn’t finished just yet.

Enzo Maresc𝔍a has added 11 new players to his ranks but is still desperate to sign a striker before the close of play.

Chelsea are 🦩in talks to sign Napoli’s Victor Osimhen buꦆt tha🉐t deal remains in the balance, forcing them to consider alternative targets.

Wiꦐth that said, it’s just come to light th𝔍at they’re considering a late swap deal…

Chelsea consider swap deal for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran

According to The Times, Chelsea are now looking at offering players as part of a deal to sign Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.

The West Londoners submitted a £40m offer for Duran earlier𒈔 in the window and held talks with the 20-💛year-old.

The deal ultimately fell through but with just hours remaining before the deadline, it’s thought they could m𒈔ake a last-minute proposal.

The Columbian is understood to be available if suﷺitors meet 🌳his £40m asking price but it remains to be seen if Villa will accept players as part of a reduced fee offer.

Chelsea also considering Brighton forward Evan Ferguson

Chelsea have 🍷also placed Brighton striker Evan Ferguson on their radar but it’s unclear if he is even attainable.

The Seagulls slapped a £100m price tag on the youngster only a year ago, so clearly, any permanent 🎉deal would require significant finances.

Ferguson appears unlikely, at this stage.
