Chelsea chase England star as he prepares for key role in knockouts

Jack Grealish is the anointed one of this England tournament, the player who the manager is slated for not using, and who will eventually be blamed and burned at the metaphorical stake when England go out.

There’s a reason he’s so in demand though – he’s an unbelievably classy on the ball, he’s the right age for a big move and has shown all the ability necessary to play for any serious Champions League contender.

Football.Insider claim that Chelsea are among those interested, which we can well believe.

On the other hand, it’s an easy claim to make, and guarantees clicks in given the England hype circus around him.

If the Blues sign him, they can say they were right. If they don’t – someone else will and they can say that we were simply outbid.

There’s also the question of where he fits into our team, especially with Kai Havertz looking more and more like he’s settling in as our creative hub.
