Como, managed by former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea center-back Alfie Gilchrist on loan this summer, according to The Athletic.
The 20-year-old defender made a breakthrough with Chelsea last season, starting five games across all competitions and scoring once.
However, Como will face competition for his signature, with Preston North End also expressing interest in the young defender.
Fabregas’ past association with Chelsea could potentially influence Gilchrist’s decision, but the final outcome will depend on the loan agreement offered by Como and the player’s own preferences.
