da betway: Chelsea are expected to make a number of late moves for reinforcements as the summer transfer window enters its final two days.The Express are reporting that Antonio Conte hopes to bring in Everton’s Ross Barkley and Swansea’s Fernando Llorente before Wednesday’s 11pm deadline.But as things stand a move for Barkley is proving a lot more problematic for the Blues, according to the Daily Telegraph Football News correspondent, Matt Law.
Law reported via Twitter on Wednesday morning that Everton have rejected Chelsea’s first bid of £25m overnight but that talks are still ongoing.
Barkley is currently recovering from a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him out until December, but it appears Chelsea will not let that get in the way of them seeking a deal this summer.
The 23-year-old, valued at £22.5m by transfermarkt.com, has effectively been told he can leave Goodison Park by manager Ronald Koeman after he refused to sign an improved contract at the club – his current deal expires at the end of this season.
Conte’s hopes of successfully defending Chelsea’s Premier League title has led to him splashing the cash on four new faces this summer, but after an unconvincing first three games of the season it appears the Italian is not yet happy with the squad he has.
