On a sporting level, Chelsea are back at the forefront this season. Fifth in the Premier League, Enzo Maresca’s players are in the race for the podium, and therefore qualification for the Champions League. But behind the scenes, the Blues are caught up in their past.

Following this report, the transfers of Willian and Eto’o, who arrived from Anzhi Makhachkala, were examined.

An agreement could be reached in the coming weeks.
