Chelsea add new signing to their squad after recalling wonderkid, 19, they snatched from under the noses of Man Utd

CHELSEA will add another new signing to their ranks for the second half of the season.

Summer acquisition Aaron Anselmino will join up with Chelsea‘s first team squad this week after being recalled from his loan at Boca Juniors.

Anselmino, 19, committed his future to Chelsea this summer after the Blues agreed a £14m transfer for the Argentine defender from Boca Juniors.

But after sealing the move, Anselmino returned to Las Bombonera on loan for the remainder of the Argentine Primera Division season – which ended earlier this month.

The towering teen centre-back has made 11 league appearances for Boca Juniors since his transfer.

But the decision has now been made for Anselmino to join up with the Chelsea squad at the Cobham training ground ahead of the second half of the season.

Anselmino is a highly-rated prospect and was linked with moves to Manchester United and AC Milan before agreeing to sign with Chelsea.

He is now expected to compete for a place in Enzo Maresca‘s squad at Chelsea as the Blues look to continue their surprise season.

Chelsea are flying high under new boss Maresca and will be hoping defensive reinforcements can help them maintain their form in the second half of the campaign.

There could still be more new arrivals at Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks too with the January transfer window about to open.

Reports have claimed that Chelsea are hoping to sign a new striker.

The Athletic have reported that Ipswich Town bagsman Liam Delap is one of a number of names on a shortlist for the West London club.

While there could also be a number of exits from SW6 next month.

It’s claimed that selling Ben Chilwell is a “priority” for the club as he is one of the highest earners.

The club could also be tempted to move on Carney Chukwuemeka should a “suitable bid” be made.

Stars such as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Harvey Vale, Axel Disasi and Cesare Casade could also be available.
