Hi Ed,
Is Bento (GK) of any interest. He looks to be a very good goalkeeper.
{Ed002's Note - Bento (G) Athletico Paranaense are negotiating a summer transfer with Inter Milan who need to replace Sommer and want an alternative to on loan Emil Audero who they regret taking. The player is keen on a deal with Inter. Chelsea took a shine to the player when working on the transfer of Vitor Roque but they have a much preferred options. Wolves have looked but Wolves have a preferred option if Sa leaves. I can only think that Benfica interest only exists if Samuel Soares leaves but Bento will not want to be cover - so they can be discounted.}

Thanks Ed, brilliant info as always.

One of those lads who watches all sorts of leagues and teams play on a regular basis told me a Ukrainian lad who plays for Benfica is the next great goalkeeper.
He did tell me name but I can’t remember it.

HI Tom
Anatoliy Trubin 22 years old. Joined last summer from Shakhtar and has a 100 million euros release clause.

Hi Tom. You probably mean Trubin (the Benfica GK)?
Personally I would hope the club try to get Bulka back to the Bridge. Kid always had the makings of an exceptional GK. Strong, tall, comes for crosses, great reflexes and pretty good on the ball. Leaving Chelsea and becoming a starter at Nice has done him a world of good, and I hope they bring him back.

Thanks Lads, yes that’s the bloke. Supposedly a star in the making!

Hi ED02, are Chelsea interested in Trubin or Bulka?
{Ed002's Note - No.}

Jackson I fully agree on Bulka he’s the best keeper I’ve seen us produce at youth level shame it never worked at PSG but I’d go as far as saying he’s been the best keeper in the French league this season. Bulka and Petrovic would be great options.
