There are 11 days to go until Chelsea's first Premier League game post-coronavirus and Frank Lampard is getting his squad primed for battle with Aston Villa away the first of nine remaining fixtures.

A friendly against Queens Park Rangers has been planned for later this week but for now it is more hard work on the training.

According to Brazilian publication Globoesporte (h/t Express), Chelsea are interested in Santos starlet Kaio Jorge.

The 18-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in South American football. He has also attracted interest from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.

Jorge has been named ‘the new Cristiano Ronaldo’. A player with quick feet and good technique, he has scored 6 goals in 10 appearances for Brazil’s Under-17 side. 

He has made six appearances for Brazilian giants Santos while scoring one goal.

Santos could be forced to sell the youngster as they continue to grapple with the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic. This could be good news for Chelsea, who could add another talented young player to their ranks.

There were reports this week that Chelsea are in the race for Kai Havertz, and that has understandably been met with delight among supporters.

The club’s strong start to the transfer window comes in stark contrast to last summer during which a ban prohibited them from making additions.

Chelsea have already secured Hakim Ziyech, and football.london has been told that the club is “highly confident” that they will trigger Werner’s £53million release clause before it expires on June 15.
