Chelsea transfer rumours: New deal imminent, Kante to Inter 'dream' claim, Bakayoko price issue

Chelsea have made some massive inroads in the transfer market this summer and now look set to compete for the Premier League title.

Whether they do that remains to be seen but signing the likes of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz can only stand them in great stead.

Frank Lampard is far from done this summer, though, as the latest rumours show.

Here is the latest Chelsea rumours round-up on the Blues below.

Alan Smith on Chelsea's loan plans

Mendy deal imminent

Chelsea are still fighting hard to sign Edouard Mendy from Rennes as competition for current goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Kepa endured a rough 20019/20 campaign as the Spaniard was dropped at one point by manager Frank Lampard.

The 25-year-old was the subject of transfer speculation but appears to be set to stay at Stamford Bridge.

That hasn't halted Chelsea's push to sign Mendy, with Chelsea now 'expected to complete the signing of Mendy' per Petr Cech's request, according to The Telegraph.

Kante to Inter latest

N'Golo Kante would be Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte's 'dream signing' according to reports.

Chelsea are interested in selling the midfielder as they bid to recoup some of the money they have spent during the summer transfer window.

Inter want to sign the Frenchman, according to Calciomercato, but could struggle to meet Chelsea's £60 million demands.

Bakayoko demand

Tiemoue Bakayoko is another player who could depart Chelsea before the window slams shut next month.

The Blues have had interest in the player from AC Milan but negotiations are proving tough for both parties.

AC Milan do not want to pay more than £25 million but the Blues are insisting that they get £30 million, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
