In the busy start of the summer transfer window, Chelsea are now reportedly waiting for their next signing to attend his tests in the coming weeks and officially complete his move.
Chelsea transfer news
The Blues have already signed Estevao Willian, Tosin Adarabioyo and Omari Kellyman this summer as Todd Boehly looks to build Enzo Maresca into a team capable of returning to the Premier League's top four and beyond. That said, the American is still more focused on his future than star players next season, as Estevao and Kellyman are both 17 and 18 years old respectively.
Speaking to Chelsea's official channels after penning, Kellyman said via BBC Sport: “It's great to stand here as a Chelsea player. It's a great club with an amazing history, so it's great to join. It's a dream come true. I'm happy to wear the shirt and I can. 'wait to start.'
Reports suggest the youngster's latest arrival from Aston Villa will not be his last at Stamford Bridge this summer, however, as Leicester City's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall looks set to be the next £30m signing.
And, according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea expect Aaron Anselmino to go for a test in the coming weeks, completing a deal worth just under $25m (£20m) in the process.
The defender will have to wait for his chance at Chelsea and the Premier League for at least six months, as he returns to Boca Juniors on loan as reported by Romano.
“Finish” Anselmino belongs to the future
Even amid Chelsea's struggles in recent years, Boehly has stuck to his plan to welcome future stars in hopes of bringing the Blues back to the top in the coming years, rather than just the short term. Anselmino is set to be the latest to make it through the ranks at just 19-years-old and if the praise of Football Talent Scout's Jacek Kulig is anything to go by, describing him as “perfect”, then the defender will be worth the wait.
The hope will be that by the time Anselmino returns from his loan spell at Boca Juniors, Chelsea's ship will be steadied and on course for Champions League football under new manager Maresca, allowing the Argentine to make an easy transition to life at Stamford Bridge and the Premier League.
