Latest Chelsea transfer rumours - Zappacosta bid, surprise Mendy update, Man United eye Kante

The Premier League season is almost here, and Chelsea fans are pretty excited.

Following a big-spending summer and the arrivals of the likes of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva, the new season has plenty of promise as far as the Blues are concerned.

And there could yet be more with Frank Lampard still keen to bring in a goalkeeper and a holding midfielder.

Below we take you through all the latest transfer rumours and gossip.

When Kai Havertz could join up with the Chelsea squad

Zappacosta subject of bid

Chelsea's Davide Zappacosta is set for exit talks ahead of the new season.

The full-back is said to be in talks with Atalanta with a season-long loan deal with an option to buy on the table.

That's according to Sky Sports Italia, who say Chelsea are open to the Italian's exit.

Zappacosta made just nine appearances last season for loan club Roma, suffering with injury issues.

No bid for Mendy

The latest reports in France suggest Chelsea are yet to make an offer for Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

L'Equipe say Rennes are still waiting for an offer for their goalkeeper.

That's despite reports Chelsea had offered around £15m, which was rejected.

Reports suggest there has been no such bid, casting doubt over whether Mendy is the man Chelsea actually want to add to the goalkeeping department this summer.

Man United could move for Kante

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.

According to the Daily Mail, the Reds could be interested in the industrious midfielder if he is to move on this summer.

Reports have claimed Kante could be on the move if a club bids £60m or more with Chelsea eyeing Declan Rice for the holding midfield position.

Could Kante join Nemanja Matic in moving to Old Trafford from Stamford Bridge?
