AVB Expecting Two New Signings This Month

Andre Villas-Boas has said that he expects Chelsea to sign two players in the next few weeks but warned that Chelsea will not overpay in the transfer market this month.

Speaking at the William Hill Scottish Cup draw in Glasgow, Villas-Boas said:

“Apart from a central defender, we might get one more player in but we’re not sure yet. It’s always difficult. The top talent is normally cup-tied in the Champions League or in different domestic competitions and it’s difficult for the selling club to make players available. It’s normal that you struggle in the transfer market. Normally it’s a market where you overpay a lot and that’s what we don’t want to do now. That’s why we have set out not to do a lot in the transfer window.”

So Cahill will be one of the two players that AVB alluded too. The question is why will be the other one? Chelsea have been linked with Gent winger Kevin de Bruyne and his agent will meet Genk for transfer talks on Wednesday.

Cahill and de Bruyne will cost Chelsea about £15million combined, a big difference from the mega pounds that Chelsea spent last January on Luiz and Torres.
