Stamford Bridge will be braced by the arrival of the much sought after manager, Antonio Conte. Italians have always been fan favourites at the club and Conte will hopefully be another Italian jewel for the Club. His management will be a welcome change and the fresh tactics and new formations will hopefully change the fortunes at the club.
New additions will be tough to attract without European competitions and the blues don’t just have to spend big, but spend wisely to unearth some hidden talents and with no midweek action, it can act as an advantage to concentrate on the league and challenge for a top four spot. A good cup run and back in Europe is a minimum fThree bizarre rumours linked with Chelsea this summer including this Liverpool attackeror the new coach, but Conte should not be burdened with pressure straight away as he will take some time to settle for life in London.
With each day passing by, new names are being linked to the club. Some make sense, but some are just plain bizarre which look like they are generated by bored tabloid journalists with a random name generator. Let’s take a look at such three bizarre rumors that have been linked recently to the club:
1. Christian Benteke:
Benteke has endured a difficult time in his first season for Liverpool and now he is linked with a move to the blues and it is just a random rumor because Benteke is just not the type of player that can resurrect his career at Stamford Bridge and is not a player that can adjust to the demands and tactics of Conte.
2. Edinson Cavani:
With Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao set to be offloaded, a striker is one of the main priorities for the blues this summer. Cavani is linked with a big money move to Chelsea but it is just not possible as the Uruguayan will finally become the main man at PSG after the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
3. Antoine Griezmann:
The Frenchman is another player to be linked with the club, but it will take a huge amount to get him attracted for a move as Atletico Madrid has made huge strides ahead and fell at the last step in the Champions League. It just doesn’t make sense that Griezmann will leave Madrid for the blues after a disaster of a season for Chelsea and it is just another bizarre rumor that won’t happen this summer.
