It’s not the first time Aston Villa has been mentioned in connection with a possible deal for Leaburn; they were interested at the season’s end.’In the summer, Charlton turned down a proposal from a Bundesliga club that was worth more than £3 million.
Leaburn is a player well-known to Chelsea, having spent time in the Stamford Bridge academy before signing with Charlton four years ago.
After co-owner Todd Boehly gave head coach Mauricio Pochettino ‘more transfer influence’ this week, Chelsea showed interest in Leaburn.Despite reportedly being unconvinced by Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja, the Argentine is eager to bring in a new striker, with Ivan Toney said to be the top target.

After 13 games this season, Charlton are at 13th place in the English Third Division with a record of 5 wins, 5 losses, and 3 draws.
Conor Gallagher’s remarkable renaissance: From Chelsea cast-off to captain
Conor Gallagher could have been forgiven for giving up on his Chelsea career.
The Blues made it obvious he may move in the summer, and they’ve spent over £300 million on four new midfielders in the last two transfer windows.
Gallagher had an unsettled summer that culminated in a failed transfer to Tottenham on transfer deadline day, but he has since buckled down and emerged as an important cog in Chelsea’s recent mini-revival under Mauricio Pochettino.
The 23-year-old has shown remarkable resiliency, and in the absence of the injured Reece James, he has captained the club well for the past four games.Tomorrow, when Chelsea hosts Brentford, Gallagher will once again be one of the first names on the team sheet as James nears a comeback from a two-month absence.
With the seаsоn оff tо а sluggish stаrt, the Blues neeԀeԀ Gаllаgher’s leаԀership, excellent pressing, аnԀ аbility tо link miԀfielԀ with аttаck tо get things gоing. Pоchettinо ԀeplоyeԀ а bоx-miԀfielԀ fоur with Gаllаgher plаying the fаlse nine rоle in SаturԀаy’s 2-2 Ԁrаw with аrsenаl.
Becаuse оf this unexpected strаtegy, Chelseа wаs аble tо restrict Mаrtin оdegааrd аnd the аrsenаl midfield аnd turn in pоssibly their greаtest perfоrmаnce оf the seаsоn.
Despite a late collapse that cost them three points, Gallagher showed once again how well he can link up with £200 million midfielders Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
Pochettino has always made it clear that he wants Gallagher to remain with Spurs, despite Chelsea’s willingness to sell him in the summer. Despite the renewed interest in him as a result of his recent success, Gallagher has not yet been offered a new contract, and will be entering the final 18 months of his current agreement when the next contract window starts in January.
