Reports have claimed that Tyler Adams is now expected to be the next signing to join Chelsea this summer.
According to The Mail’s Transfer Confidential newsletter, the 24-year-old is now expected to be the next name through the door as Mauricio Pochettino continues to strengthen his side.

The Blues are reportedly looking to strengthen their attack too before the campaign gets underway, and they are looking at both strikers and wingers to try and do this.
