There’s never a dull moment as a football fan during the summer transfer window, and this one has thrown up many shock stories and moves so far, and it’s not over yet.
The window slams shut next Thursday, giving clubs less than a week now to secure any late deals, and we expect it to be a busy deadline day.
Chelsea are expected to be one of the most active clubs, with many departures and arrivals to still try and get over the line. But last night, there was another surprise story surfacing. Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Chelsea had made an offer to sign Dinamo Moscow’s 19-year-old starlet, Arsen Zakharyan.
It came from nowhere, but has since been backed up by the player’s agent as well as another Russian insider via Sport RU late last night.
“Shock, but true. Offer at the club,” – was the reaction of Andrei Pankov, an insider and journalist of the “Championship” in Russia.
You’d expect this to be another signing for the future, but who truly knows, maybe Chelsea plan to use him this season!
