View Chelsea transfer targets
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has urged the hierarchy to pursue a new midfielder when the transfer window reopens this winter.
The west London giants parted ways with Enzo Fernandez on deadline day, but they could not find a suitable replacement before the window closed.
Monaco’s Lamine Camara was on course to join the Blues in the closing stages, but the French outfit pulled the plug on the move at the last hurdle.
Hence, Chelsea had no time to pursue another alternative, but they are expected to return to the transfer market for a solution in January.
Camara continues to remain under consideration of the hierarchy, but reports claim that Alonso would prefer to recruit Kone from the Giallorossi.
The Frenchman had a good World Cup over the summer and was widely touted to leave the Serie A giants until the closing stages of the window.
In the end, the Giallorossi made the decision to keep him but there is a possibility that he could depart if an offer of around £55 million arrives.
