Let's get the latest news from Chelsea!
Chelsea remain interested in the former Manchester City midfielder they failed to sign in the summer!
Former Manchester City talent and current Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia remains a player of interest for Chelsea, according to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
Southampton signed Lavia from Manchester City for an initial sum of £12m in the summer. It didn't take long for Chelsea to knock on the Saints' door in search of the exciting midfielder.
Just under two months after moving to St. Mary's, Lavia scored as the Saints beat the Blues 2-1 in the Premier League. The Stamford Outfit club approached the Hampshire side with an offer the following day.
Behind the scenes. Chelsea wanted to sign Romeo Lavia on Deadline Day with a £50m verbal offer rejected by Southampton - of course, he's untouchable!
Southampton have invested £12m plus add-ons for Lavia - and Man City have a £40m buy-back clause.
Chelsea were reportedly prepared to shell out a £50million fee to sign Lavia from Southampton on the final day of the summer transfer window. However, this proposal was quickly dropped!
Potter's arrival, however, did not change the Blues' stance on Lavia, who narrowly missed out on a place in Belgium's FIFA World Cup squad. According to Tavolieri, he is still seen as a potential replacement for N'Golo Kante. The journalist wrote on Twitter:
