It is no secret in the media that Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is looking to get his transfer business started this summer – and is in desperate need of adding to that back-line
The Blues manager is aware that he has to introduce some fresh meat to the club due to a number of departures from the team already and a few more players who are associated with exits, which has led to reports that they are interested in Jones.
The young player, a natural winger, lost out when Chris Wilder joined the team and rose to prominence in the Championship, where he registered nine assists and scored once while helping Boro miss out on the play-off spots.
A hypothetical transfer deal between Chelsea and Boro has reportedly been discussed in the media over the previous few weeks, with other interested parties including Manchester United and Tottenham.
However – amid all the speculation Carlton Palmer reckons Jones should stay put as he won’t get regular playing time at any of the aforementioned clubs.
He said: “The clubs that he’s been linked with are fantastic football clubs, but he will not be playing and there’s no point going there.
“If the deal can be done, that he goes and then he comes back on loan to Middlesbrough, yeah, then do a deal like that, but he needs he needs to play.”
