Just when it looked as if Chelsea were out of the race to sign a new midfielder this summer, Everton\u2019s deadline day business could actually directly lead them to signing Lamine Camara.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deadline day has already brought an end to the long-running Enzo Fernandez<\/a> saga, with a deal being agreed for him to move to Manchester City for \u00a3125m.<\/p>\n

\n

Chelsea have already missed out on a large amount of midfielders<\/a> this summer, and did not leave themselves much time to sign a suitable replacement for the Argentine.<\/p>\n

Chelsea back in for Lamine Camara after Everton set to miss out on Folarin Balogun<\/h2>\n

However, a huge slice of luck seems to have fallen their way involving Camara\u2019s<\/a> Monaco, who need to sell before the transfer window comes to an end.<\/p>\n

It looked as if Everton were going to sign Folarin Balogun this summer, however that move looks set to collapse due to issues with his medical.<\/p>\n

Romain Molina<\/a> has stated that as a result of this news, Monaco have dropped their asking price for Camara in the final hours of the transfer window.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThiago Scouro was bragging and demanding 70 million this afternoon from Chelsea for Lamine Camara.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the recent events related to Balogun, the asking price has bizarrely dropped to around 50 + bonuses The outcome is near: will they have time to get the paperwork done?\u201d<\/p>\n

What have you made of Chelsea\u2019s style of play under Xabi Alonso? \u26bd\ufe0f<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

With the transfer window slamming shut at 11pm, Chelsea<\/a> are going to have to be quick when it comes to negotiations to get this over the line in time.<\/p>\n

There are real fears around the midfield options Xabi Alonso will have available for him if another option is not brought in following Fernandez\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

Signing Camara should have been sorted earlier, but a huge slice of luck means it looks like Chelsea may get away with one this summer.<\/p>\n
