Chelsea line up future move for Brighton star as transfer deal is agreed
Brighton midfielder Julio Enciso is being lined up for a future at Stamford Bridge after agreeing a deal with BlueCo – the group that owns Chelsea and Strasbourg. The 21-year-old had been tipped for big things after announcing himself to Premier League fans with a Puskas Award-nominated strike against Manchester City to help Brighton secure a place in the 2023/24 Europa League. But Enciso struggled to nail down a starting spot on the south coast and spent the second half of last season on loan at Ipswich, where he racked up two goals and three assists in 13 appearances. Following Ipswich's relegation into the Championship, Enciso made it clear he was keen to explore possible opportunities away from the Amex Stadium, with regular first-team minutes seen as an absolute priority. According to The Athletic, BlueCo have now agreed personal terms with Enciso's camp and the Paraguay international is expected to join up with Ligue 1 outfit Strasbourg imminently. However, the report claims Enciso is 'viewed as a long-term Chelsea player' by Todd Boehly's BlueCo consortium, who completed a takeover of the west London giants in 2022. After assuming control of Strasbourg 12 months later, Boehly spoke about the multi-club model providing a route for young talent to force their way into the reckoning at Chelsea. Sky Sports is going full throttle this Premier League season, airing a record-breaking 215 live matches - that's nearly double the usual dose of drama, goals, and post-match meltdowns.

'We can show pathways for our young superstars to get onto the Chelsea pitch while getting them real game-time,' the American billionaire said. Enciso will no doubt be desperate to make an impression in French football with Strasbourg, managed by Liam Rosenior, but the youngster first has to work his way back from knee surgery – which has kept him sidelined since May. The injury meant Enciso did not feature in Brighton's pre-season plans or in the side's 1-1 draw with Fulham last weekend. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Brighton's hierarchy had been in agreement that Enciso would be surplus to requirements for the new season, with Fabian Hurzeler well stocked in midfield. Enciso had just 12 months remaining on his contract with the Seagulls. Speaking to ABC Paraguay in May, Enciso revealed that he was keen to enjoy the summer with his loved ones before determining his future. 'I'll think about what I'm going to do later,' Enciso said at the time. 'I don't know yet what I will do. 'I want to enjoy time with my family and then I'll think about what I'm going to do.'

'Obvious choice' - Chelsea urged to hijack Liverpool move for £35m target
Tim Sherwood believes Chelsea would be silly not to rival Liverpool for the signing of Marc Guehi after the long-term injury suffered by Levi Colwill. Colwill was expected to be a key player again for Enzo Maresca's side but will now miss the majority of the season with an ACL injury. While Chelsea had already brought in Jarrel Hato from Ajax prior to Colwill's injury, Maresca has openly admitted that he would now like to see the club dip back into the market for more defensive cover. 'We are trying to find a solution internally, but the club know exactly what I think and we'll see what happens,' the Chelsea boss said last week. 'I think we need a central defender. We are looking for an internal solution but as I said, the club know exactly what I think. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. 'We have a fantastic squad. We are happy with the squad. we are, no doubt. But we said many times that when the transfer window is open, anything can happen.' Despite Maresca's wishes, reports suggest that Chelsea will not sanction the purchasing of another centre-back, with Josh Acheampong one of several players viewed as a capable deputy for the time being. But former Tottenham manager Sherwood believes Chelsea should reconsider their stance and pursue a deal for Guehi, who has just one year left on his deal at Crystal Palace The Palace captain has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, with both clubs holding talks over a potential £35million deal. But with Palace holding out for a fee of £40-45m, Sherwood believes Chelsea could take advantage and present a more attractive proposition for Guehi. 'Marc Guehi is the obvious choice for Chelsea to replace Levi Colwill at centre-back,' Sherwood told BetBrain. 'He's a player that will hit the ground running at Chelsea, having already played in the Premier League for a few years and to a very high standard. 'They can risk waiting until next season when his contract at Crystal Palace expires, but there'll be a queue to sign him, without doubt. 'It looks like both Liverpool and Chelsea have turned Guehi's head away from Palace. Ibrahima Konate is out of contract next season for Liverpool and while Guehi might not start ahead of him or Virgil van Dijk, he'd be a solid replacement if either left the club. 'Even if Konate stayed, the best teams in the league have high quality cover in every position and Guehi would fit that bill. 'My feeling is Steve Parish will want to try and keep hold of Guehi for as long as possible, but Palace know they can't allow him to leave for free – it'd be a huge loss.' Despite speculation on his future, Guehi – as well as the Arsenal-bound Eberechi Eze – are expected to start for Palace in Thursday's Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad. More Trending 'Many of you were surprised Marc and Ebs started and played almost the whole game [at Chelsea],' Glasner said in his pre-match press conference. 'Most of you will be surprised that they will start again [on Thursday] because of all the rumours. 'But they are committed to the team, they have a contract here. They played a crucial part that we could be successful and they will play a crucial part as long as they are here. 'They are good, they are committed to the team. When one of the players will leave they want to leave as the guys who always gave 100 per cent for Crystal Palace. 'This is what they did since they signed many years ago and this is what we expect from them until the end of their contract, whenever this is.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Jefte Rangers transfer exit confirmed as club bank profit
The transfer deal will see Rangers bank a significant profit on the £800k fee they paid to sign the defender from Fluminense. Palmeiras had identified Jefte as a key target, with talks kicked off last week over an agreement. The transfer deal also includes performance-related add-ons and a sell-on clause. A club statement confirmed: "Rangers Football Club can today confirm the departure of Jefté to Palmeiras for an undisclosed fee. "The 21-year-old, who joined the club in May 2024, made 56 appearances for Rangers during his time in Glasgow. "Everyone at Rangers thanks Jefté for his contribution while at the club, and we wish him well for his future career." Read more: "He was in yesterday morning and things have transpired that he's not here now, but we'll have to wait and see what happens over the next couple of days," Russell Martin told BBC Scotland of a deal for Jefte last week. "It's looking likely he will be on his way and if he goes, he goes with everyone's best wishes and if for whatever reason because this is football it doesn't happen, he'll be welcomed back. "We wouldn't let Jefte go if we didn't have plans to make sure we're not left short there." Rangers had moved quickly to sign Jayden Meghoma on loan from Brentford as Jefte headed for the exit. The full-back made his debut in the Champions League play-off round first leg defeat to Club Brugge on Tuesday.
