The agent of one key Fulham midfielder has admitted to the media in South America that there is interest from Chelsea in his client.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea have been one of the busiest teams in the current transfer window with the addition of a plethora of key players including Tosin Adarabioyo and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

A new striker is also a target with HITC reporting that Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Randal Kolu Muani and Goncalo Ramos.

Whilst the club have spent a significant outlay, it appears they’re not finished there with the latest target reportedly being Fulham’s Andreas Pereira, who was formerly at Manchester United.

Pereira’s agent confirms interest from Chelsea

Since moving to Fulham from Manchester United back in the summer of 2022, Pereira has developed a great reputation for the Cottagers.

This reputation has led to a recall to the Brazil national team but these good performances will naturally lead to interest from some top Premier League sides.

Pereira admitted he would ‘think about’ his future following links to Aston Villa and Tottenham but it now appears that Chelsea have entered the race.

A report from Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte claim they have spoken to Pereira’s agent Kia Joorabchian. about his client’s future.

The outlet claims that Joorabchian confirmed that there was interest emanating from the Blues this summer.

Globo Esporte go on to claim that Chelsea are waiting for other deals to occur before making a move for Pereira.

One of these deals will probably be Conor Gallagher. HITC reported that Gallagher has interest from Aston Villa and Tottenham.

However, Gallagher is keen on remaining at Chelsea this summer but the Blues may well decide to sell the midfielder this summer.

Chelsea midfield well-stacked

Pereira has been a superb addition for Fulham. Marco Silva, back in 2022, labelled the Brazilian as ‘outstanding’ when speaking to Fulham’s website.

However, despite this, Chelsea do not need another attacking midfielder with the club already having Cole Palmer as well as Dewsbury-Hall.

If Pereira were to make the move to Stamford Bridge, he would not be a starter and a player of quality deserves to be a starter for his next club, if he chooses to depart Craven Cottage this summer.
