Chelsea are set for a busy summer under new boss Xabi Alonso, and they can\u2019t afford to get the recruitment wrong.<\/p>\n

The Blues missed out on European football all together with a tenth placed finish, which has made their work this summer that bit harder.<\/p>\n

Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali links wide of the mark<\/h2>\n

Chelsea are said to be in the market for a centre back, whilst they are also thought to want to add another midfielder and attacker.<\/p>\n

Alonso will reportedly have a say in transfers, whilst co-owner Behdad Eghbali has said the recruitment model will be tweaked this summer.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are reportedly open to targeting players with proven Premier League experience as they look to improve the squad.<\/p>\n

The Blues have been linked with Morgan Rogers, and with doubts over the future of Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea were linked with both Guimaraes and Tonali.<\/p>\n

However, Jacobs took to X.com and provided an update:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso understand links between Chelsea and Newcastle pair Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimar\u00e3es are wide of the mark.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Guimaraes would be a brilliant potential replacement for Fernandez if he leaves, and the Brazil international finished the season with nine goals and eight assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n
