Chelsea have been by far the most active side in the Premier League this summer, splashing over £200m on a plethora of new recruits.
Frank Lampard has bolstered his ranks with the signings of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva, while Malang Sarr has also arrived on a free transfer.
Chelsea are not yet done in the transfer market, although any remaining business is unsurprisingly expected to orientate around trimming the squad.
Here, we have gathered some of the latest snippets surrounding the Blues.
Hudson-Odoi talks
Bayern Munich are ramping up their efforts to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea and have opened negotiations with the Blues, the Mail states.
The England ace has fallen down the pecking order under Frank Lampard despite penning a five-year contract last September, with Chelsea previously batting away Bayern's interest in the winger.
Since June, his only starts have come against Bayern in the second-leg of the Champions League Round of 16 tie, where the Blues were already on their way to elimination, and this season's Carabao Cup.
The German champions are said to be open to any deal for Hudson-Odoi, including a loan with an option or obligation to purchase.
St. Etienne eye Sarr
Malang Sarr could be heading away from Chelsea despite only recently arriving as St. Etienne are eyeing a loan deal, according to Telefoot Chaine via GFFN.
The Ligue 1 side are eyeing defensive reinforcements after selling Wesley Fofana to Leicester City, while William Saliba moved to Arsenal after his loan spell expired.
Sarr arrived at Chelsea this summer for a free transfer following the expiration of his deal with OGC Nice but his capture was one for the future.
It's added St. Etienne are willing to offer a two-year loan deal, while a move to the club would see him reunite with Claude Peul - whom he made his breakthrough under four years ago in Nice.
Marcos Alonso demands
Chelsea have informed Inter Milan that they are looking for a permanent departure for Marcos Alonso, Goal reports.
The 29-year-old's time at Stamford Bridge is over and Inter have pursued a deal all summer, with their proposition being a loan with an option to buy.
However, the Blues are looking for an immediate sale as they look to recoup funds in the market following their staggering spending blitz this summer.
The Spain international attracted Inter's interest in January and the signing of Ben Chilwell from Leicester has left the writing on the wall for the full-back.
