Went on social media, scrolling through. Dries mertens linked, chelsea talking to Napoli, read figures from €10m to €15m snd even €42m, by the time I'd scrolled down its saying he wants to stay at Napoli break goalscorer if record and either get a new deal or sign for inter in the summer for free. Rumour lasted a good couple hours,

Would make sense as he's experienced, plus he has played central and wide roles to a very high level.
Unfortunately I don't believe it for one second. I think he'd be sensible staying in Italy.

Ed002
Would you have time to comment on our interest in Mertens and if it has a chance of being concluded?
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Dries Mertens is a player that Chelsea have considered but only want him to the summer and have been told the asking price - which for a player who is 32 and out of contract in the summer is ridiculous and it makes no sense for the player to move now rather than negotiate a lucrative pre-contract.}

I take this as a positive . i feel that we already have a clear target for the summer window and don't want someone to come in beyond that period.
Dries Mertens / Cavani would have been perfect till summer but if we can't get either then its not worth spending this window.

Mertens would be good buy, can cover either Wing or Striker Position.

tariq lamptey looks like he's off out the gap hopefully he has a good kick start on his young career in france with lille.

A shame but Reece James will be starting RB for years to come and Lamptey needs regular minutes to grow.
