Chelsea have joined the race for West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, as per . The Netherlands international is attracting widespread attention following the Hammers' relegation and his impressive World Cup performances. Man Utd and PSG are also keen to sign the winger. Chelsea are now also in the mix as they look for a potential upgrade - or even replacement - for Alejandro Garnacho, who endured a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge and may be facing an uncertain future. Maresca appointment confirmed Man City have of former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca as their new manager. Last week, a breakthrough in the talks with the Blues was reached, with City forced to pay compensation as Maresca opted to simply walk away from his contract. He was not actually sacked by Chelsea in January, so he remained tied to the club. City have paid Chelsea a fee of around €20m, while Maresca has also been forced to pay a settlement after effectively breaching his contract. In response to his City appointment, Chelsea released a scathing statement in which they implicitly accused the Italian of lacking integrity. Rosenior back in the saddle In other former Chelsea head coach news, Maresca's short-lived successor, Liam Rosenior, is also due to return to management as he is close to joining Paris FC, according to . The Englishman has reportedly already agreed to join the ambitious Ligue 1 side, who are backed by the billionaire Arnault family and Red Bull. Both connections will appeal to him, as the Arnaults provide significant funds, while Red Bull offer expertise. Rosenior will be advised by Jurgen Klopp, who remains, as things stand, Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer even if there are persistent rumours that he may take the Germany job this summer. Palestra analysis Chelsea have signed Atalanta full-back in a €55 million deal in what represents an exciting piece of business. The 21-year-old is coming off an immense season on loan at Cagliari, which saw him win Serie A's Defender of the Year award. : "He’s a very attacking wing-back, he’s lightning fast and he’s a great dribbler - he had the second-most successful dribbles in Serie A last season. "He can go right and left, he’s a little bit unorthodox in that sense as he can use either feet, which means he can go inside and outside. He is very aggressive and fearless. "He’s a physical guy and he’s well-built despite his age. He's quite raw, but I think from a physical point of view, he’s quite well-suited to the Premier League."
