Chelsea transfer rumours: Trio set to sign, Michy Batshuayi offer, Jonathan Ikone competition

Chelsea are poised to continue their spending spree ahead of Frank Lampard's second season at Stamford Bridge, adding to some already impressive recruits.

The captures of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner have caught the eye and the squad is set for a further boost with Kai Havertz, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell closing in on a move.

Outgoing deals are also on the cards this summer, while other names continue to be linked with a move to join Lampard's Blues revolution.

Here, we have gathered some of the latest snippets surrounding the Blues.

The ultimate lowdown on Thiago Silva

Trio set to sign

A big week is shaping up for Chelsea, with three major deals reported to be on the verge of completion.

Sky Sports states the Blues are poised to sign Kai Havertz, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell.

A £90m deal for Havertz is on the cards, while it's stated an agreement for Chilwell is 'almost there'.

Meanwhile, Silva will arrive on a free transfer to provide some experience to their defence.

Batshuayi offered to Benfica

Chelsea have offered Benfica the services of striker Michy Batshuayi, according to A Bola.

The Portuguese side are in the market for a forward and have failed in their attempts to sign Edinson Cavani on a free transfer following his exit from Paris Saint-Germain.

Chelsea are keen to offload Batshuayi, with it previously being stated he has been offered to newly-promoted Leeds United.

Benfica were keen on signing Batshuayi previously back in 2013.

Jonathan Ikone competition

Leicester City are set to rival Chelsea in the market for Lille forward Jonathan Ikone, Le 10 Sport reports.

A host of exits from the Ligue 1 side have occurred, with Victor Osimhen moving to Napoli and Gabriel Magalhaes poised to complete a deal to join Arsenal.

Ikone could be the next out the door with it stated he wants a fresh challenge and Lille are ready to sell.

Chelsea and Inter Milan have both been attributed with holding an interest.
