PAUL ELLIS/POOL/AFP via Getty Images - Chelsea have made contact with former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, Footmercato has revealed. The Netherlands international has been a free agent since leaving Saudi side Al Ettifaq, meaning the Blues can sign him at any time. Wijnaldum is viewed as a backup option to Monaco's Lamine Camara, whose proposed €55 million move to Chelsea collapsed at the final hurdle on deadline day. With the transfer window not reopening until January, the 35-year-old Wijnaldum -- who is also wanted by several Saudi clubs -- could now be their best short-term midfield option.
- Chelsea will face competition from Liverpool if they revive their interest in Camara, says TalkSPORT. The Reds recently contacted Camara's representatives to express an interest in signing him next summer, if a move to Stamford Bridge doesn't materialize in January. The 22-year-old is viewed as a long-term replacement for Alexis Mac Allister, who was linked with Manchester City this summer.
