Chelsea is to attempt to sign Alberto Aquilani from Liverpool, with Andre Villas reportedly growing increasingly unsure about spending £40m on Luka Modric.
Quite understandably, Aquilani wants his future resolved on a permanent basis, so whether Liverpool would accept the offer remains unclear.
However, Villas Boas is looking to alter Chelsea’s style of play to a more fluid passing game – rather than the physically dominant, direct attack they currently employ.
Though given little chance to impress on Merseyside, Aquilani has still proven his capability in fitting in with that methodology.
Furthermore, concerns over his fitness would be allayed with either Oriol Romeu, Frank Lampard or Jon Obi Mikel alongside him.
Michael Essien, of course, is out of action until next year with a cruciate knee ligament injury, but Josh McEachran has stepped up to the plate nicely.
