Chelsea Transfer News: Todd Boehly turns his attention to a new midfielder on deadline day to finally grant Thomas Tuchel wish.

Nonetheless, Chelsea have unleashed a late ploy to finally sign the Blues boss a midfielder with Alvarez subject to a bid. Martinez, who penned a five-year deal at United, even said he's hoping to reunite with his friend at another club one day. As it stands, ahead of the Blues' clash with West Ham at the weekend, only Billy Gilmour and Carney Chukwuemeka are said to be entirely match fit. Chelsea submitted a £43million bid for Ajax's Edson Alvarez yesterday, football.london understand. Edson Alvarez has quickly become heavily linked with a move to Chelsea on deadline day as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his midfield. Fellow Eredivisie star Ibrahim Sangare has also emerged as a late option for the west Londoners with just a few hours left before the window slams shut this evening.

CHELSEA target Edson Alvarez has reportedly skipped Ajax training today in an attempt to push through a move to Stamford Bridge.

An agreement is set to be reached with Barca for the sale of Aubameyang. Douglas Luiz has been linked as an alternative signing to Alvarez. It’s very close to the end of the transfer window and when 1 September comes I will be a happy coach no matter what happens. Chelsea lost 2-1 to Southampton on Tuesday and have won just two of their first five matches of the season. The 24-year-old told Ajax this morning he wants to join Chelsea. He took the club's spending to over £250million earlier this week with the purchase of defender Wesley Fofana for an initial £70m.

Chelsea have the power to sway players and it's helped them in the last couple of weeks of the transfer window, including on deadline day.

Fofana's own move proved his determination and commitement to joining Chelsea whilst fans at the time were frustrated by Courtois' actions. Chelsea had been tracking the player throughout the window and injuries throughout the squad only emphasised the late need to bring in a new player for Tuchel's midfield. In 2017 it was Costa that would not return to training in London after Antonio Conte's infamous text message saying he wasn't needed. Alvarez himself could yet make some of Ajax's decision for them with more and more players attempting to push through deals for themselves. For Alvarez this is even more important given the late notice he has. The Blues managed to turn Wesley Fofana's head earlier than Leicester had originally planned to entertain bids for him, Marc Cucurella moved from Brighton after just one-year on the south-coast and now the latest move is being elevated forward as well.

Edson Alvarez's potential move to Chelsea is off after Ajax told the midfielder he will not be sold, according to reports in the Netherlands.

Edson Alvarez has been left furious by the Ajax technical board's decision to not sell him to Chelsea on deadline day.

The club’s decision has left the midfielder furious and he feels that other players were given a chance to leave the club. Alvarez turned up at Ajax’s training base on Thursday and made it clear to the club that he wants to join Chelsea, and refused to train with the first-team squad. Chelsea tabled a €50m bid for the Mexican midfielder on Wednesday evening and managed to turn his head towards a move to the Premier League.

[Jorginho](https://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/tag/Jorginho/) cannot play as a defensive midfielder, as clearly shown in the last match. The Italian is not able to stop counter-attacks, like [N’Golo Kante](https://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/tag/N'Golo-Kante/). That means if a move goes through, Ajax will have very less time to sign a replacement. Chelsea fans have long demanded that the club sign a new midfielder. An experienced player, he could be the long-term successor to Kante. But time is not on their side. But, the English midfielder has failed miserably in that task. This is according to [David Ornstein of The Athletic.](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1565050277027274753) Such a trait is sure to impress Tuchel who likes to have solid players at the back.
