Chelsea’s Premier League rivals are reportedly interested in bringing in another player from Stamford Bridge this summer.

The two club’s engaged in one of the most high-profile transfers of last summer, with Mason Mount making the move to Old Trafford.

If reports are to be believed, another Blue could potentially be joining him over there after interest from Erik ten Hag’s side.

Manchester United interested in Ben Chilwell

According to The Byline, the Red Devils are showing an interest in signing Ben Chilwell this summer.

The England international endured another rough campaign last time out when it came to injuries, and this saw him hardly start in the first season he was named vice-captain of the club.

Injuries have unfortunately been a story of his time at the club since his £50m move from Leicester City. However, he has looked to put this right with an early return to the club’s pre-season training.

His place was often filled in his absence by Marc Cucurella, who has enjoyed a very strong few months for both club and country.

Under Mauricio Pochettino, he showed a completely new side to himself at Stamford Bridge when he was given the freedom to roam inside and help out in the middle of the park.

Now, he has been one of the top performers at Euro 2024, with him now preparing for Spain’s semi-final against France.

It has been reported that the Blues are keen on bringing in a new player in that position too in order to strengthen their prospects for the future.

Reports have stated that they have agreed a deal to sign Renato Veiga, with him expected to be a seriously exciting signing for the future.

There was reported interest in Euro 2024 star Riccardo Calafiori, however he looks set at this stage for a move across the capital to Arsenal.
