Chelsea proved last season that there could be some promising days to come under Frank Lampard.
Fourth spot in the Premier League was solid enough but Champions League and FA Cup defeats to Bayern Munich and Arsenal showed the need for improvement.
The signings of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech have already boosted the Blues ahead of next season but now they are chasing Kai Havertz and much more.
Here is the latest transfer rumours round-up on Chelsea.
Havertz progress
Chelsea have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.
That's according to Bild via The Express, who report that the Blues will complete a deal for the 21-year-old within the next ten days.
Leverkusen want £90 million for the playmaker and Havertz himself is eager to put pen to paper on a five-year deal.
Gallagher contract talks
Chelsea are aiming to ward off interest in Conor Gallagher by offering him a new long-term contract.
The 22-year-old impressed on loan at Swansea City last season in the Championship and is now attracting interest from Newcastle United and Crystal Palace.
But MailOnline report that Chelsea are willing to offer the playmaker a new deal as he remains firmly in Frank Lampard's plans moving forward.
Dunk and White blows
Chelsea have been linked with Brighton defenders Lewis Dunk and Ben White during the summer transfer window.
Dunk has been the player more heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge but Brighton don't want to part ways with their club captain.
The same can be said for White, who starred on loan at Leeds United in the Championship last season, according to talkSPORT.
