A right-winger by trade, Jones has been a member of Middlesbrough for quite some time now. But he made his major breakthrough this past season, racking up one goal and nine assists in 42 league outings. Transformed into more of a wing-back, the Englishman has enjoyed stellar success in his new role. The 22-year-old has expertly used his pace to provide width out wide, while his tally of nine assists is indicative of his ability to whip in crosses into the box. It has made him an appealing target for Manchester United, who are in the market for a new right-back amid uncertainty over the future of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

West London giants Chelsea led the Premier League for the better part of two months before they lost the summit to defending champions Manchester City earlier this month thanks to the 3-2 comeback loss at fellow London team West Ham United. The Blues lost to a very good team on their own patch though they would be disappointed that they didn't manage to hold on to the lead twice during the game only to then lose it in the final minutes, but in truth, it is their home form that ensured that they lost their place at the top of the table to Manchester City, while also losing second place to Liverpool. Chelsea have had to settle for third place since losing to the Hammers this month. It must be pointed out that Chelsea drew their last two home games before the West Ham United and that's where the problem lies.
The defender Chelsea decided to sell was Kurt Zouma. The initial agreement was for Chelsea to agree a player-plus-cash deal with Sevilla and they would be expected to send Zouma to Spain and add some additional cash to prise Kounde away from the club. But that was not going to happen as Zouma insisted that he would not be heading to Spain and would love to remain in the English Premier League instead. It was initially a difficult situation for the Blues but they managed to reach an agreement with West Ham United after the Hammers registered an interest in signing the player.

Goals from Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell handed Thomas Tuchel's men a comfortable 2-0 first-leg advantage before the second leg. At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea did not play with the same aggression and character they showed in Portugal and failed to penetrate the Porto defense. The game ended goalless at half-time, with neither side registering a single shot on target.
After the firing of Maurizio Sarri, the appointment of Frank Lampard raised eyebrows as to whether he was capable enough to steer the Blues to Premier League glory given that he did not have a powerful-enough credential to present. However, a lot of faith was invested in him as he was tasked with the responsibility of bringing together his own choice of players and getting them integrated into the system, and playing beautiful football.
Fabrizio was on the Here We Go Podcast via The Sun where he revealed that Chelsea hold a strong desire to bring the player to Stamford Bridge to further bolster their defensive department, despite making summer additions of defensive options who have all impressed since joining.
