Chelsea and Newcastle United in head-to-head
Perhaps two of the busiest teams in the transfer market, Chelsea and Newcastle, have recently made moves as they seek to strengthen their squad further.
Chelsea especially have made several signings, including Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández and Roméo Lavia. However, this could be another opportunity to re-enforce the midfield further.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, have relied heavily on the brilliance of Bruno Guimaraes and are open to new options. The Magpies were recently linked with Dani Ceballos and are continuously exploring other options in the market.
