Chelsea tweeted via the club's official X account: 'Chelsea is pleased to announce the signing of defender Aaron Anselmino, who will spend the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Boca Juniors.'

Chelsea are on the verge of a double signing of a goalkeeper and defender. New Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, who joined the London-side after winning the Championship last season with Leicester City, has already made six new signings for the Blues.  The most expensive of those additions so far has been £30million man Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who Maresca signed from Leicester. Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has gone on a spending spree worth over £1billion since taking over the club in June 2022.

Some big names have been left out of Chelsea's US pre-season tour, with uncertainty over the futures of six players in particular.  The club have named a 28-man squad that will fly out to the United States, with their first game against Wrexham in California on Wednesday.  Enzo Maresca's side will then go on to face Celtic, Club America, Premier League rivals Manchester City, before concluding the tour with a game against Real Madrid in Charlotte, North Carolina on August 7. 

SIMON JONES: Chelsea have discussed a potential deal involving striker Armando Broja in their offer for Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The 25-year-old midfielder has turned down a proposed move to Brighton and is waiting for Chelsea to agree terms with Leicester after an opening bid was made on Friday. Chelsea are understood to have also mentioned David Fofana and midfielder Cesare Casadei as they look to reach an agreement.

Brentford will rival Brighton in the race for Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The 25-year-old is valued around £40million by Leicester as he still has three years left on contract and was a key figure in their promotion campaign last season. Brighton made a move to sign the England U21 international in January but Leicester were not prepared to sell unless they received an extraordinary offer while Dewsbury-Hall, who has been at the club since he was eight years old, was reluctant to go.

The Championship promotion race is in full swing with Ipswich Town, Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton, all in the hunt of a return to the Premier League via a top two finish. It certainly marks a considerable difference from mid February when Leicester were running away with the league, eight points clear of Leeds, 14 from Southampton and 18 ahead of Ipswich Town. Yet, just five points cover Ipswich in first to Southampton in fourth. Leicester are one point below Ipswich with a game-in-hand, and could go top with a draw in Saturday's early kick-off against West Brom. 

In 27 league outings this season, Dewsbury-Hall has scored nine goals and nine assists, putting him at the top of the Championship charts in both main attacking categories. Leicester is a team close to his heart. He was born in the city, signed his first professional deal with the club in 2017 and has never played for other clubs on loan.

The two relegated teams from last year's Premier League campaign were battling it out for the three points at King Power Stadium. However, the Foxes were unable to win for the fourteenth time in the Championship after winning 1 3 out of 14 matches so far. Giorginio Rutter who claimed the winner for the visitors, giving third-placed Leeds a three-point advantage as they trail second-placed Ipswich by nine points.

The Foxes were dissatisfied with their 18th-place finish last season. As a result, the club was relegated and now competes in the Championship for the first time since 2013-14. Leicester's stint in the Championship is likely to be short-lived, considering that they still have a strong roster of players, including veteran Jamie Vardy and young prospect Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, as well as the fact that they have notched up three wins from three under new boss Enzo Maresca.

The summer transfer window is open, and all 20 Premier League clubs will be looking to improve ahead of the new season. Fans are already planning following the unveiling of the fixtures, but behind the scenes discussions over new acquisitions are well advanced. Mail Sport has rounded up all of the new goals for each club in our transfer window.

TOM COLLOMOSE: The issue with assuming that you are too smart to go down is that when you wake up to reality, it will probably be too late. Fans of Leicester have been worried about relegation for some time. Brendan Rodgers has been fired as a manager, and the team has been booed at home games. Although Foxes fans are a relatively organized lot, calls for change have flooded social media and local radio phone calls. When the whistle blew on Saturday, King Power Stadium looked half-empty.

TOM COLOMOSSE AT THE KINGPOWER STADIUM: The issue with believing you are too young to go down is that when you awakene, it can also be too late. For some time, Leicester supporters have been worried about relegation. During multiple home games, they have called for manager Brendan Rodgers to be fired and booed the team. Foxes supporters are a relatively logical bunch, yet calls for reform have flooded social media and local radio radio phone numbers. As the whistle blew on Saturday, King Power Stadium seemed half-empty.

It is not difficult to imagine what was on the menu when Brendan Rodgers met Leicester owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha for lunch this week. On Wednesday, the two sat down in the club's swanky training ground canteen for a bite to eat ahead of Brighton's match on Saturday, where the faltering Foxes will try to snap a string of four straight losses. Leicester are in a bind. Since the Premier League returned from the World Cup tournament, they have been missing many key players, including Ridley, James Maddison, James Maddison, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Patson Daka.

Will Alves, who had been on for the first team's 3-0 victory over MK Dons in the Carabao Cup, was the victim of a brutal lunge from Wolves youth team player Caden Voice. As they ran in to confront the Wolves player, his coworkers understood the severity of the incident right away. On Alves' knee, his leg appeared to have almost made a stamping motion.
