French publication La Provence claim to have fresh news on this rumour though and have even suggested that the deal could be announced as soon as this evening…I won’t hold my breath.
Chelsea have been in the market for a new right-back since Jose Bosingwa left the club, especially one that can offer some width going forward. We’ve been linked with a number of fullbacks from Maicon to Debuchy, and although he may not be my first choice, it seems as though Azpilicueta is the man Chelsea want.
Azpilicueta is just one of the names I’m tired of hearing at the moment (let alone spelling), along with Moses and Hulk…it’s a good thing that there’s football on this weekend to turn our attention towards. Still hope we get our skates on and get this deal done though.
