Chelsea make Benrahma priority, and apparently already made contact with Brentford, not sure if click bait but thought I'd ask ed, skilful player / Mahrez like, cheaper option to sancho.

{Ed002's Note - No idea, sorry. Certainly there has been interest from other PL sides.}

I spoke to Brentford's French scout today and he said Chelsea had watched him earlier this season.

I assume the rumour about the lad from Brentford signing for us is Just more paper talk.
I had the pleasure of watching him play and I was impressed but I would have reservations!
If it's true, what are the Eds and my fellow posters views?

I’ve only seen clips of him, skilful and clips are usually him going past a player, can’t really judge a player on a highlight reel and take into account his opposition. who knows.

As you say very skilful but he is very one footed.
He was outstanding in the game I saw and he got people out of there seats. I guess the concern of some will be can he step up to the Premiership but I think he could comfortably.

Ed002 is there anything new on sancho? With the virus is his price lower? Do Chelsea still want him this window and willing to spend big? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Not really. The issue remains the overal cost. His agent has made a very significant demand which Chelsea are not going to pay. So the asking price from Dortmund might have a little room to negoitiate, but the agent fees need to reduce very significantly. Borussia Dortmund are in no rush to sell either.}

Why is his agents being so greedy, looks like he will stay another season at dortmund then, if which is looking likely willian and pedro go interesting to see if we get another winger in, guessing havertz could be an option as am/ rw, are we looking at any other than sancho?

{Ed002's Note - The agent sees this as his big pay day with FIFA looking to introduce a 10% cap on total transfer fee as soon as they can.}
26 May 2020 14:31:57
Seeing as sancho wants to join us why doesn't he talk to his agent and tell him to reduce the fees?

{Ed002's Note - It is not really how it works.}

This is where players need to take a bit of responsibility, agents are there for the interest of the player, If sancho is happy for his agent to possibly prevent any move then fine but if he is keen to move to a certain club, . Chelsea or united then he needs to change his agent,

I would of thought the player has the final decision on where he wants to go and agent should be helping him get the move he wants not hindering it.

{Ed002's Note - You need to understand there is a very significant amount of money involved.}

Ed002, would you say it would be easier for Chelsea to sign Havertz as compared to Sancho?
Agree1
Disagree0
{Ed002's Note - Well it would be more cost efficient but the asking price is again very high as I previously explained. Sancho would settle a lot quicker being English. Havertz has serious interest from elsewhere but nobody will look to an offer at the full asking price.}
26 May 2020 18:55:10
I think havertz would be worth it tbh and would settle in england, would they be willing to lower the price? Or potentially take players in exchange?
