Blues handed boost in Hakimi race
One of the main talking points throughout the summer transfer window so far has been the future of Inter Milan defender Achraf Hakimi.
Both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are thought to have lodged bids for the Moroccan defender, with it remaining to be seen where he will end up beyond the window.
Nevertheless, it seems as though the French giants could well have dropped out of the race having pursued a move for Tottenham defender Serge Aurier instead according to journalist Rudy Galetti, via The Express.

Tuchel set for summer decision over defender
Whilst the Inter man could potentially be arriving at Stamford Bridge this summer, one defender who could be set for a decision over his future is centre-back Matt Miazga.
According to reports in Belgium, Anderlecht have elected to not extend his loan and are searching for alternative options.
It means that Blues boss Thomas Tuchel has a decision on his hands this summer over whether to keep him at the club or cut him loose after over five years and just two appearances at the club.
