The sky is blue and the water is wet, and Chelsea is once again making the most of their summer transfer windows.
So far, Bruce has added some top quality additions to the Enzo Maresca side, including Liam Dellup and Joa Pedro.
Additionally, the West Londoners also promote many exits for Nicholas Jackson, Kieran Dewsbury Hall, Christopher Nukank and others.
However, the conference league champions are not completed there as they continue to link with Alejandro Garnacho.
Chelsea targets giant Garnacho upgrades
Chelsea has been linked to Garnacho for a while, with reports promoting Manchester United Ace about their journey to West London to the winter window.
However, the link has become much more specific in the last few weeks thanks to a fall between Argentina and Reuben Amorim at the end of last season.
If Bruce acted on the expected interest of a 21-year-old, the report suggests he would need to cut down around £40 million to secure his services, but he could be a smart buy for Maresca and CO, but they would be wise to sign another Premier League star where they appear to be enthusiastic: Morgan Rogers.
Yes, according to a recent report from Athletic, Chelsea is still interested in the Aston Villa star this summer.
As things stand, the people of West London are not acting on this interest, and the report does not mention how much the British will cost in the coming weeks.
However, other stories earlier this summer suggest that a £100 million offer would be enough to seduce claret and blue to sell.
Overcoming the line is a complicated and expensive move, but given Rogers’ immeasurable abilities and possibilities, it’s worth fighting for, especially as he was a much better signature than Garnacho.
Why Rogers is a much better signature than Garnacho?
So, before falling into actual ability as a player, the first big plus in Rogers’ favor is that he hasn’t caused any issues with his team so far in his career, and has escaped with his manager and is in trouble in the dressing room.
Unfortunately for Garnacho, as mentioned above, it cannot be said the same thing as he was not only revealed last season with Amorim, but also because the manager reportedly said he needed to “pray” another club came for him this summer.
The possibility that Maresca has control over Western London Argentina is anything but it is worth showing that he has shown that he is worth the extra effort needed to put him aside, especially when the squad appears to be in great harmony at this point.
That said, there are several important reasons why Bruce seems better to sign than Villa Ace anyway, such as their respective outputs.
For example, last season’s 54 appearances, a total of 4,496 minutes, the Claret and Blue free-scoring “machine,” dubbed by athletic Jacob, placed the ball 14 times behind the net and provided 15 assists.

In other words, the Halethowen-born monster was able to maintain goal involvement every 1.86 games or every 155.03 minutes. This was even more impressive considering they also play in the Champions League against sides like Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Juventus.
In contrast, United’s troublemakers scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 58 appearances, totaling 3568 minutes, with a lower average goal involvement every 2.76 games or 169.90 minutes.
The key here is that six of the target involvements of the Madrid-born ace were in the League Cup and five came to the Europa League, so he was not only less productive than Villa Dynamo, but he was less productive with much easier competition.
Ultimately, Garnacho isn’t a bad player, but even if you see it, Rodgers would be much better off signing Chelsea this summer, even at a rather high price.
