Media reports claim that Chelsea are keeping tabs on Piero Hincapie, who currently plays as a defender for Leverkusen. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. Porto, Arsenal and Tottenham have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. Across the season 25/26, Chelsea have let in 9 goals in 7 (1.29 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Piero Hincapie would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Leverkusen have also been linked with Rasmus Winther Hojlund and Raheem Sterling while Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Harvey Elliott, Emilano Martinez and Alexander Isak.
