Initial talks are said to have taken place through intermediaries, with Forest also recently scouting Setford, according to Football Transfers. Setford has only played two games for the Arsenal first-team, but the 19-year-old has long looked like a big prospect ever since catching the eye at former club Ajax. The Netherlands-born England Under-21 international could do well to think about his future this summer, as he's currently third choice in goal for the Gunners behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Chelsea could use more defensive steel and physicality in the middle of the park, and Anderson would be a solid long-term acquisition. However, they would have to pay 100 million in order to get the deal done. They need to improve other areas of their squad as well. Spending 100 million on the midfielder might not be a wise decision. Improving the defence should be their priority instead. They need a reliable finisher as well, who can find the back of the net regularly.
