There might be plenty more football for Chelsea to play this season, but there’s already speculation over what the club will do when the transfer window opens.
Following the news that the signing of Timo Werner has all but been wrapped-up, the Blues hierarchy are evidently hard at work to strengthen Frank Lampard’s squad ahead of next season.
According to the rumour mill, Werner is far from the only high-profile player that will join Chelsea in the coming months.
Here are the latest transfer rumours and gossip coming out of Stamford Bridge.
That’s according to a new report in The Guardian, which suggests that Chelsea are planning on following up the signing of Werner by stepping up in their campaign to get Chilwell.
The academy graduate has been an ever-present in the Foxes’ backline for the past three seasons and has made over 100 appearances for the club, and remains under contract until 2024.
Ajax’s Nicolás Tagliafico, available for £22m, is mentioned as an alternative option that Chelsea are considering.
Man City and Chelsea set to battle for Houssem Aouar
Lyon rising star Houssem Aouar is being tracked by Manchester City and Chelsea among a host of European clubs, according to ESPN.
The homegrown Lyon talent, 21, will leave his boyhood club this summer as they look to raise funds for new players.
The versatile youngster, who can play a variety of roles in midfield, is said to be viewed as a David Silva replacement by City, while Juventus and Chelsea are two of the other clubs specifically mentioned as potentially keen on his signature.
Lyon are holding out for at least £45m for Aouar, the report goes on to say.
