Chelsea have made some big moves in the summer transfer window but are showing no signs of stopping.
The Blues have acquired the likes of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr in recent weeks and months, with the latter likely to go back out on loan.
But more deals are expected to be done as a transfer move for Kai Havertz edges closer and other gossip.
Here is the latest transfer rumour round-up on Chelsea as the summer window rolls on.
Mendy demand
Chelsea are eyeing a move for Edouard Mendy though Rennes are reportedly reluctant to sell the goalkeeper until they find a replacement.
The 28-year-old has been identified as a possible target with reports suggesting Chelsea had a bid of €16million turned down over the weekend.
But a new report from TuttoMercatoWeb claims that Rennes will not sell without a replacement, despite Mendy hoping to join Chelsea.
Lampard wants even more
Chelsea’s spending spree is set to continue even if a deal for Havertz is wrapped up.
The Blues have spent a large chunk this summer, landing the likes of Werner, Ziyech and Chilwell among others.
But even if Havertz arrives as expected for a bumper fee, Frank Lampard will want two more signings before he is satisfied with the overhaul of his squad.
According to the Daily Star, Chelsea still have a centre-back and a goalkeeper on their shopping list before they pass through the checkout and deem themselves ‘ready’ for the new season.
Emerson exit
Emerson Palmieri is on the verge of leaving Chelsea during the summer transfer window.
His future was already up in the air before Chelsea captured Ben Chilwell from Leicester City.
Now Emerson’s agent says that Inter Milan want to sign the 26-year-old, according to Goal.
