Chelsea have not disappointed their fans in the last two matches, having won both of them against Tottenham Hotspur and Everton after they faced their first defeat of the season in their opening fixture at the hands of Burnley. Now with their indulgence into the transfer market to get a new player on the deadline day, it seems that the reigning champions will not disappoint their fans in the transfer window as well.
Speculations are rife that the Algerian international Riyad Mahrez might be on his way to Stamford Bridge in the next few hours and he has been given permission to leave his national team camp earlier today. The player has been subject to a transfer this summer with the Foxes trying their level best to keep hold of the player for another season.
With the deal looking almost done, it is going to be a major signing for the Blues on the deadline day after they procured the services of players like Tiemoue Bakayoko and Alvaro Morata this summer. The West London club have been looking to repeat their success from the last term and secure their firm grip on the Premier League trophy that they have toiled hard to win in the last season.
Definitely, the signing of the former PFA Player of the Year, if it happens, can be a major boost for the six time Premier League champions to go all in for another title this term.
The Algerian international arrived at the King’s Power Stadium in 2014 and has since been a very valuable player for his side so far. The left footed player made a great impression in the season prior to the last one and was instrumental in the surprise triumph of his side in the Premier League that saw the Foxes lift the trophy for the first time in their history.
Known for his ability to play pinpoint passes to set up his teammates and also score goals with brilliant shots from distance as well as from close range, the player has been an asset for his current club and the Blues will hope that he can show that form once again for them and guide them to another victorious season. However, his form last season was nothing worth mentioning and the Algerian attacker was able to notch up only three goals throughout the whole season. The Blues will hope that he plays to the best of his potential and make his potential signing worth it.
