Of course, this is a situation where Chelsea fans will say, ‘we will believe that when we see it’. It just isn’t what Chelsea do right now.
EXCLUSIVE! Two more NEW names added to Chelsea summer list of targets – One from Wolves and one from Atletico Madrid!! 👀
But if they are now being more open to it, then I only see that as a good thing and I genuinely believe it could be the key difference to challenging for the Premier League title again. Chelsea could change this key approach in the transfer market, add three QUALITY experienced players to the squad, and that might just do it if you ask me – that might just complete this squad and have them ready for challenging on all fronts again.
Jones on Chelsea buying experience

Chelsea have been linked with Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae this week, a player who is now 29-years-old.
Dean Jones told TEAMtalk: “Kim Min-jae is being linked with Chelsea and while it is true there has been an element of interest, I’m told the prospect of a transfer is still quite slim.
“I do get the impression Chelsea are more open minded than when they were previously only looking at younger players. There is definitely a chance they look to sign someone with more experience and seniority.
“But at the moment I am told the Kim links are just one of a number of deals they have on their mind for the summer and ultimately they will still be looking for good value.
“From what I understand, Kim is on good money, in the top ten earners at Bayern, and that brings a layer of difficulty too for any potential deal that Chelsea would look at.”
