Chelsea are interested in signing the Atalanta defender Honest Ahanor during the summer transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n They will face competition from Brighton for the talented central defender. According to a report from TMW, Brighton are also interested in signing the central defender, and it remains to be seen whether the Italian outfit is prepared to sanction his departure.<\/p>\n Ahanor has been linked with multiple Premier League clubs in recent weeks, and he\u2019s a talented player with a bright future. He has the potential to become a top-class player, and it is no surprise that Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n Chelsea needs more quality in its defence, and the Atalanta defender could be an excellent long-term investment for them. The 18-year-old is still quite young, but he is already an important first-team player for the Italian club. He has shown that he has the quality and maturity to compete at a high level.<\/p>\n Chelsea could groom him into an important first-team player. Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his tremendous potential.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Atalanta will not want to easily lose a promising young prospect like him. Chelsea might have to fork out a premium in order to get the deal done.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Brighton are looking to build for the future, and they are interested in the 18-year-old. They have recently signed Luca Vu\u0161kovi\u0107 from Tottenham, who is regarded as one of the finest young central defenders in Europe. Adding Ahanor to the squad would give them a solid defensive unit for the foreseeable future. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chelsea are interested in signing the Atalanta defender Honest Ahanor during the summer transfer window….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
