The Blues have confirmed the signing of the left-footed commanding centre-back from AS Monaco for a reported fee of £34 million, as per Goal.

The 21-year-old has signed a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge after making a name for himself in AS Monaco colors.

However, France-based football correspondent Jonathan Johnson has urged the Blues to take Arsenal’s example of William Saliba.

Saliba has been a key figure at the back for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side this season but had three successive spells in France on loan.

Since signing for the Gunners, he has been loaned out to Saint-Étienne, Nice and Marseille, and Johnson believes that Badiashile also needs to be loaned out. He told Football.London:

Johnson has claimed that Badiashile is a long-term signing for Chelsea and might struggle if he gets a starting berth immediately.

The French football expert has demanded patience from the Chelsea fans in their latest January addition. He added:

Arsenal ready to challenge Chelsea for Serie A forward

Arsenal are reportedly ready to challenge Chelsea for the signing of Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Vlahovic joined the Old Lady from Fiorentina in January 2022 in a deal £66.6 million, rejecting multiple offers from Premier League clubs, particularly Arsenal.

The Serbian international has scored 16 goals in 36 games for Juventus so far but is reportedly far from happy at the club.

Juventus could reportedly cash in on Vlahovic to reinvest in their squad and both a host of clubs are considering a move.
