Chelsea are set for their most expensive transfer window ever as the Blues continue to push towards marquee additions before the start of the new season.
Frank Lampard has already bolstered his squad with the additions of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, while a club-record deal for Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz is on the horizon.
The Blues are not done there though as Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva are in line to become the next names through the door, while other deals have been touted.
Thiago Silva update
Thiago Silva has stated his future will be decided in the next 24 hours as he closes in on a move to join Chelsea on a free transfer.
The Brazilian saw his eight-year stint with Paris Saint-Germain end after Sunday's defeat in the Champions League final to Bayern Munich and is poised to move to the Premier League.
A deal could be completed sooner rather than later, as the experienced defender has suggested his future will be decided imminently.
"Now I have to look for a new team. Fiorentina? Reports of an agreement are not true. My agent is talking to them and other clubs but nothing is signed yet. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will have to look at the offers and make the best decision for me and my family," he told RMC Sport.
Malang Sarr deal
Chelsea are in line to land another defensive addition on a free transfer as they close in on a deal for highly-rated Malang Sarr, according to Telefoot via the Daily Mail.
The Blues have been among the clubs attributed with an interest in Sarr's services following his exit from Nice after his contract expired earlier this summer.
Now, it's suggested that Chelsea are poised to complete a deal with Sarr having agreed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to a number of Premier League sides, including Chelsea's London rivals Arsenal.
Declan Rice bid
Chelsea are plotting a mammoth bid for West Ham's Declan Rice towards the end of the summer transfer window, Football Insider suggests.
The Blues' recruitment drive has caught the eye so far this window and looks set to continue, with it stated a part-exchange deal will be offered to the Hammers.
Said to be worth around £70m, the offer is said to include one first-team player and cash - although a specific name being used as makeweight is not mentioned.
While Chelsea have been encouraged to make a move, a formal approach is being put on hold until more funds can be raised by outgoing deals.
