Saul is a Chelsea target

Chelsea might have gotten Gonzalo Higuain in the team but they do look a bit understaffed in midfield. They let go of Cesc Fabregas but couldn’t bring in a replacement and that might change in the summer.

According to reports, Chelsea are looking at the option to bring in Saul from Atletico Madrid. They are apparently willing to invest €150 million.

Meanwhile, this report from Spain claims that Chelsea have won the race to sign Mauricio Pochettino from Spurs. They are 'close to completing' a deal and Real Madrid, who had targeted the Argentine, will have to look elsewhere.

The compensation fee to bring Pochettino at Stamford Bridge is said to be around €30 million. It was initially at €45 million but Levy is said to be considering €30 million.
