da casino: With the 11pm deadline fast approaching, Chelsea still have some business to get over the line.
da realbet: Unfortunately, however, the Blues have just lost out on one of their late summer targets to Liverpool in the form of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who turned down a switch to west London yesterday.
Unless Antonio Conte is ready to rely on Victor Moses for another whole season – the failed swoop for the England international suggests he isn’t – Chelsea need to find an alternative right wing-back by the end of play today.
With that in mind, FootballFanCast presented Blues fans with a suggestion yesterday – Southampton defender Cedric Soares.
Since moving to the Premier League, the 26-year-old has proved himself to be a very consistent performer for the Saints and he also lifted the European Championship with Portugal last summer.
And according to our poll, after missing out on Oxlade-Chamberlain, a staggering 92% of Chelsea fans would back a Deadline Day swoop for the 5 foot 8 right-back.
