Reports have claimed that one of Chelsea's current transfer targets has made the decision to join the Blues.

The Blues are looking to act early this summer in order to give the best possible backing to the new manager ahead of his first season of Premier League management.

Enzo Maresca was the man chosen to replace Mauricio Pochettino, and a lot has been made of how much impact he is going to have on the transfer business this summer.

It was thought that this was somewhat of a sticking point for the Argentine that he wanted Conor Gallagher to remain a key part of his side, however he is very much up for sale for the right price right now.

However, it has already been reported that the new boss is leading the club's pursuit to sign Marc Guiu from Barcelona.

The 18-year-old has already shown plenty of promise over in Spain, with former manager Xavi singing his praises on numerous occasions.

The Blues were absolutely not the only top side who were interested in a deal to sign him, however insider Fabrizio Romano has made it clear that they have made themselves the favourites for a deal.
