Latest Chelsea transfer rumours: Tomori to Rennes, Willian on verge of exit, Rice update

Chelsea are on the hunt for new additions in the transfer market ahead of Frank Lampard's second season in charge of Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have already secured the additions of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, with Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz next in line for a move.

Chelsea's transfer business will not stop there though and a host of other names have been linked with a move to West London.

Here, we have gathered some of the latest reports regarding the Blues.

Fikayo Tomori exit talks

Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennes are in talks to sign Fikayo Tomori from Chelsea despite his remarkable season with Chelsea, according to L'Equipe via GFFN.

The 22-year-old has been a regular in Frank Lampard's first-team fold this season and has quickly become a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge.

However, it is now suggested that a move to France could be on the cards for the talented defender - though it isn't clear whether a deal would be permanent or on loan.

No Rice approaches

West Ham boss David Moyes has stated that no approaches have been made for Declan Rice, amid Chelsea's reported ongoing interest in the England international.

Frank Lampard is said to be keen on bringing the former academy man back to West London, possibly to play in the centre of defence.

However, despite the reported interest, Hammers boss Moyes has stated that there have been no advances for the services of the England international.

“At the moment there have been no offers for Declan and we don’t want any. There’s always interest but we don’t want to encourage it," he told the Evening Standard.

Willian to seal Arsenal move

Arsenal are on the verge of signing Willian on a free transfer from Chelsea after agreeing a £100k-a-week three-year deal with the Brazilian, ESPN states.

Willian had rejected a two-year extension from the Blues as the 31-year-old has been pushing for a three-year contract, which has been tabled by the Gunners.

His agent, Kia Joorabchian, has close ties with Arsenal and had publicly stated last week that five clubs had expressed an interest in his services.

Arsenal have won the race for the South American though, who will provide additional experience in the final third for the Gunners.
