“He is the best player to replace Mason Mount”- Potter Set To Sign £70m-rated Serie A Centre-forward… Chelsea made an offer of between £60m and £69m for Rafael Leao in the final days of the window, amid Liverpool and Man City interest.

This campaign, that form has continued with three goals and four assists in only seven matches.
