Good morning Ed002, does Chelsea maintain an interest in Ihattaren?
{Ed002's Note - Mohamed Ihattaren (AM/RM/RW) at the end of 2018 five clubs were invited to watch MI including Chelsea, Barcelona, Olympique Lyon, Benfica and Manchester City. Chelsea have a chap who does look at players on their behalf in the Nederlands but without asking him I don't know if Chelsea have considered him again recently. Manchester City, Inter and Ajax also have a declared interest. PSV don't need to sell but already have another AM for next season and modest expectations for the transfer market - so they will not be selling cheap regardless. A move to an U23 side in England makes no sense but a move to Ajax might be an option as a replacement for van de Beek. Inter's interest relates to plans the coach has for other players.}

Damn, I really hope we're in for Ihattaren. One of the most talented young players I've seen lately.
I think he'd be a fantastic understudy to Ziyech. Both left footed playmakers with a fantastic shot and a very good pass to them. Don't think he'd be playing for our U23s! He'd be a much better investment than Sancho. Can't imagine he'd be nearly as expensive. And he doesn't look any less talented.
