Chelsea transfer rumours: Thiago Silva offered to Blues, Dean Henderson competition

Preparations for the new season continue for Chelsea, with more players continuing to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

The 2020/21 Premier League campaign is now just a matter of weeks away, and the Blues have already been busy in the transfer market ahead of the big kick-off.

Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner have already made their way to west London, and more are expected to follow them.

Here are the latest transfer rumours and gossip coming from Stamford Bridge.

The ultimate lowdown on Thiago Silva

Silva offered to Blues

Thiago Silva has been offered to Chelsea as the Brazilian searches for a new club this summer.

The defender is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain upon the expiration of his contract following the Champions League final on Sunday.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 35-year-old has been offered to the Blues by his agent, with Chelsea seriously considering him as an option.

Silva though wants more time to decide on his next club, with Fiorentina and three more clubs said to have contacted him.

Villa enquire over Henderson

Aston Villa have made an enquiry over the availability of Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson, according to reports.

Henderson, who has been linked to Chelsea, has not had his immediate future decided yet, but having been out on loan to Sheffield United for the past two seasons, the stopper is expected to challenge David de Gea at Old Trafford.

The Daily Mail claim Villa are interested in the youngster, but United will instead attempt to offload Sergio Romero in a deal to sign Jack Grealish.

Meanwhile, the MEN reports that contract talks are still ongoing with Henderson over a new deal at Old Trafford.

Palace join race for Bakayoko

Crystal Palace are reportedly considering a move for Tiemoue Bakayoko, who is set to leave the Blues this summer.

According to Calcio Mercato, both Palace and Fulham are interested in the Chelsea outcast, who has been heavily linked to AC Milan so far.

Having endured a disappointing first season at Stamford Bridge, Bakayoko has spent the last two seasons on loan at the San Siro and Monaco.

Milan are said to be very interested in signing Bakayoko permanently, but according to the latest reports, Palace and Fulham could also make a move.
