Fabrizio Romano has revealed increasing interest from Premier League clubs in Chelsea loanee Alfie Gilchrist as the January transfer window approaches.
Currently on loan at Sheffield United, the 20-year-old defender has impressed with 22 appearances this season. His performances have not gone unnoticed, sparking speculation about a potential permanent transfer in January.
Romano shared, “Alfie Gilchrist has attracted interest from Premier League clubs for permanent transfer in January.”
Despite this, Chelsea and the player reportedly agree that remaining at Sheffield United until the end of the season is the most beneficial move. Romano added, “However, both Chelsea and player side see staying at Sheffield United until June as best option.”
For now, it seems Gilchrist will continue to hone his skills at Bramall Lane before any long-term decisions are made.
