Koke going to Chelsea would be yet another nail in the coffin of the other clubs in the Premier league who have ambitions to be champions next season.
They (Chelsea) are actively seeking to, and 85% to 95% on the way to becoming, as strong as Bayern, Real Madrid and Barça. Apart from the need to replace John Terry in the next 12 months, all areas of defence, midfield and attack (the attack needs strengthening but they will probably pick up Icardi from Internazionale for circa €35m*) look pretty close to being too much for us, United and Arsenal.
That said, these Koke reports are nothing more than speculation. However, Chelsea are unquestionably fast to act in the transfer market and they waste little time geting their business done well ahead of the season - which starts in just 13.5 weeks time.

* Internazionale will probably use all of the proceeds to sign Paolo Dybala from Palermo
