Chelsea have now advanced their interest in Garnacho, as revealed by Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, who reports background checks have been made over his character, which have not raised any concerns for the Blues.

Chelsea have done some good transfer business this summer already — incoming and outgoing — but we may not be done even after Jorrel Hato and possibly Xavi Simons sign as well. According to the Telegraph, we’re also still “expected” to make an offer to Manchester United for Alejandro Garnacho, who remains out of favor there.

Chelsea are still pushing to sign Alejandro Garnacho, but Manchester United are holding out for at least £40m for the 21-year-old winger. (Talksport), external Meanwhile, England Under-19 midfielder Leo Castledine is set to join Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
