Despite having already signed Liam Delap, João Pedro and Jamie Gittens this summer, Chelsea remain on the hunt for further attacking reinforcements. Garnacho is a long-time target for the Blues, who moved into “advanced talks” over a summer swoop earlier this week.

Alejandro Garnacho only wants to join Chelsea this summer and talks between the Blues and Manchester United over a deal for the 21-year-old winger are advancing

Should Chelsea strike a deal with United, Garnacho would become the club’s seventh signing of the summer – following Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato, Liam Delap, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr through the doors at Stamford Bridge. Garnacho still has three years remaining on his current contract at the Theatre of Dreams.
