Latest Chelsea transfer rumours: Kepa to Valencia, £31m Bakayoko deal, Willian contract update

Chelsea are looking good for a Champions League spot and are now hot on the tails of third place Leicester City.

Frank Lampard's men defeated second place Manchester City on Thursday night to hand Liverpool the title and bolster their own hopes of climbing the table.

Lampard will be pleased with what he has seen since the restart but he is not satisfied, already lining up two arrivals ahead of next season in the form of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech.

Chelsea are expected to continue spending, too, and with that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest rumours concerning the Blues below.

Kepa tipped for loan move

Goalkeeper Kep Arrizabalaga has been linked with a loan move to Valencia.

According to Marca, the La Liga club would like to take the Blues' stopper on a two-year loan deal.

The report suggests a Kepa exit to Mestalla would be part of a three-way deal that would see Ajax star Andre Onana arrive at Stamford Bridge and Valencia keeper Jasper Cillessen head to Amsterdam.

Kepa arrived at Chelsea in 2018 for just over £71m.

Bakayoko linked with Newcastle

Newcastle United are being tipped to make a move for Chelsea outcast Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Le10Sport report the Magpies could seal a £31m move for the midfielder should their takeover go through.

The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Monaco after a loan spell at AC Milan the season previous.

Bakayoko has only made 29 league appearances since his £40m move from Monaco in 2017.

Willian could yet stay

Willian is in talks to extend his contract at Stamford Bridge despite appearing set for release.

The veteran winger has been tipped to join Arsenal or Spurs this summer when his contract expires at the end of the season.

But the Daily Mail are now saying the Brazilian could be kept around for another year.

The 31-year-old has made more than 250 appearances for Chelsea during his seven years at the club.
