The club had originally intended to sign Chelsea’s Marc Cugureya. But negotiations stalled after he played for the Blues in the Carabao Cup win over AFC Wimbledon earlier today UFABET.
They want to include an early termination clause in his contract. So that they could send Kugureya back to Chelsea in January when both Shaw and Malasia are fit.
