Chelsea Transfer Roundup: 3 of the biggest transfer stories you need to know about

Ben Gibson to Chelsea

Now for a slightly better story for Chelsea fans – and this one comes in the form of a positive move from the Blues.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea have sent scouts to watch Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson – who the Blues are reportedly keen on signing.

Gibson, whilst not a particularly high profile player, is one of the Premier League’s most impressive breakout talents – and he would tick a number of boxes for Conte.

The most important of these would be the fact that he is homegrown; and that could point Conte towards him over other targets.

This has all the makings of a deal – and a great one at that.
