Transfer: Boehly identifies England midfielder he’ll sign for Chelsea in £100m deal

Chelsea is ready to rival Manchester United and Liverpool for the signature of Jude Bellingham next summer, according to the UK Sun.

Bellingham has become one of the most sought-after midfielders in the world after shining at Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly, has identified the 19-year-old as one of his primary targets ahead of the 2023/2024 campaign.

Boehly is very keen to bring the most talented youngsters in the world to Stamford Bridge.

The American billionaire, who spent £271 million on new players this summer, is said to be a big fan of the England international.

He and Chelsea’s new manager Graham Potter are eager to secure Bellingham from the Bundesliga side.

However, they will face stiff competition for players, who will cost upwards of £100m.
