Chelsea FC looking to land Frankie De Jong

Look away, Manchester United fans. All summer, people have been waiting to see if star midfielder Frankie De Jong would be leaving Barcelona to head to the English Premier League. Now it looks like that could happen, just not to MUFC.

Instead, Chelsea FC are hoping to swoop in and make something happen. This would be a massive, massive blow for the Red Devils.

De Jong is a wanted man and Thomas Tuchel would obviously love to have him suit up for him. We'll see if this goes down or not but it will be something to watch for sure here.
