He states that the Blues have been linked with over 20 or more different players in this window, but that &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; they wanted to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/30\/cole-palmer-manchester-city-chelsea\/\" target=\"_self\">sign Cole Palmer<\/a> from Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/27\/chelsea-djordje-petrovic-signing-official\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Confirm Djordje Petrovic Transfer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The journalist blatantly clarifies that the English midfielder was never a major summer transfer target for Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s side, nor was he ever close to making a shocking move to the Gunners&#8217; rivals. It is further stated that Mikel Arteta considers the 23-year-old a part of his project at the Emirates Stadium and that he retains the utmost trust of the Arsenal hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p>For the time being, it looks clear that Smith Rowe is going to stay at the club this summer and aim to break into the first team after missing a chunk of games last season due to injury. He hasn&#8217;t started a game for Arteta&#8217;s side in this campaign so far, but will look to change that going forward.<\/p>\n<h3>What Can Be Expected From Chelsea Before Transfer Deadline?<\/h3>\n<p>Chelsea are currently <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1696936739481289016?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rumoured<\/a> to be working hard to complete the signing of Cole Palmer from the Premier League champions after having already agreed a deal with them for the young winger. They might also indulge in some potential outgoings before the transfer window ends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/29\/chelsea-supporters-have-away-travel-cancelled\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Infuriate Fans With Strange Decision<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Blues are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/sport\/football\/chelsea-fc-chalobah-cucurella-man-utd-bayern-b1103383.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> to have slapped a \u00a350 million transfer price tag on defender Trevoh Chalobah, who is attracting the attention of Bayern Munich.
