Chelsea see new Romeo Lavia bid rejected

Chelsea may be scrambling on the midfielder front unless there is one final play to be made, Liverpool’s mammoth £110m deal for Moises Caicedo look set to dampen the Blues fans’.

Despite Chelsea now eyeing Liverpool’s former target in Romeo Lavia, The Times reports that a new bid worth around £48m has been rejected by Southampton.

For me Chelsea should walk away from Moises Caicedo & let Liverpool have the player for £110 million, I then think we should go for both Romeo Lavia & Mohammed Kudus. Would of been nice to have Caicedo but realistically for a defensive midfielder it’s to much. pic.twitter.com/Yu4vXq9yDz
