Chelsea enter race with Liverpool and Manchester United for £100m potential Kanté ally in January.

The Blues have entered the race to sign the Dortmund man in January.

The Sun has reported that Chelsea are the latest entrants in the race to secure Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham’s signature next summer.

Bellingham has been at the center of transfer speculation since Erling Haaland departed the club last summer. The Schwarz Gelben though, insisted that Bellingham was not up for sale. The Englishman is being circled by a number of teams and the source has claimed that Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in signing the 19-year-old.

The former Birmingham City player joined Dortmund in 2020 for a fee of £20 million. Since then, he has gone on to establish himself as an integral player for club and country. He is now currently valued at £100 million, reports the Sun.

Following a record-breaking summer window under new owner Todd Boehly, Chelsea are now targeting another record signing in Bellingham for next summer.

Speaking about his own future, the Stourbridge-born midfielder insisted that it would be disrespectful to Dortmund to make calls on next summer.

"The club have done loads for me and made me feel very welcome since I first came and gave me the opportunities to develop even further.

“To look past that and into the future would be disrespectful.”

The teenager's value could also further skyrocket if he does have an impressive World Cup this winter with Gareth Southgate almost certain to select the midfielder.

And Chelsea's midfield could also be in need of a reshuffle come the summer. N'Golo Kante is now north of 30 and still in talks with the club over a contract extension, although they have stalled in recent months amid his fitness issues. Jorginho himself is 30 and Mateo Kovacic is in his late 20s. Those age profiles were no doubt a motivator as Chelsea added the highly-rated Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa this summer.

Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.

OPINION: Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed. The Blues were back in Premier League action on Saturday, and had sealed a 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Bridge. The game had seen goals come from the Blues' attacking options, something which had rarely been seen in the Tuchel era. Not just that, there were noticeable changes and improvement in team set up that were not seen under the former German Boss. All of which will be highlighted below. Firstly, the handing of debut to Chelsea's signing, Carney Chukwuemeka. Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run. It's harder than it seems to just trust the youth though. Tuchel struggled to fully implement the pathway desired and was always focused on the here and now, the short term. He felt warmth with experience. Potter already looks to have brough...
