Chelsea will look to revisit their interest in Sporting CP centre back Ousmane Diomande, following long term interest.
I'm sure he plays in the middle of a back 3

Shaun Wright-Phillips slams Chelsea for selling Kepa to Arsenal:

🗣 "I’m confused. I don’t understand. It’s like nobody’s been watching Kepa this season. He’s been unbelievable. He is part of the reason why Bournemouth finished where they finished.

I assumed while the season was going on that Chelsea didn’t need to buy a goalkeeper because Kepa was going back anyway, but that isn’t to be the case. It’s a real strange one."

CEO Markus Krösche stays firm on his £84m valuation for Ekitike :

“If the price isn’t right, then he’ll just stay with us. We don’t have to sell Hugo” (Wiesbadener Kurier via @Plettigoal)

I had actually had the same thought.....to a degree

‼️ Chelsea are open to the fact that they need to sell a host of players, especially those that spent last season on loan.

The club's policy is not to carry a large group of loanees that are not expected or likely to make it into the first team.

Most can be moved on. It’s Chilwell, Sterling and Felix that may be hard to move on.

Part of me still wants Felix to be part of our plans...

Everything we do with our keepers is completely off for whatever reason. Almost to a comical degree.

Turkish football expert Serdar Ali Çelikler:

🗣 "What I have heard is that if Chelsea gets Osimhen, Galatasaray will also get Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea."

According to @TEAMtalk, Chelsea are planning a new bid for Mike Maignan.

Simon Phillips -

"One source continues to mention both Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze to me as real ones to watch. There’s a lot of noise around both players right now and remember, Chelsea reached out to Rogers agent earlier this week. If Chelsea cannot land Ekitike, expect another new striker to be targeted. Enzo Maresca wants his attack improved and has asked for all the above positions."

Eze would be a dream, he is kinda not what we need though - unless Enzo wants to finally let Palmer go into his natural space on the right

Brighton with a random £30m signing.

He'd be utterly fantastic though, wouldn't he?

‼️ Personal terms have been agreed with Jamie Gittens, even though several bids have been rejected. But there's optimism the deal will get done.

Also rumours we are looking at Jhon Duran on loan

That young Greek striker? We were linked with him for a while. No doubt we will sign him for double next summer

He was sold to Al-Nassr

Giving players that want to escape the Saudi transfer mistakes they made a return plan might be decent way to find value in the next few years

🚨 Chelsea FC reached out for 6”6 striker Nick Woltemade before the U21 Euros stating they were monitoring him closely and his contract situation. Stuttgart will start talks with him soon with a salary increase planned. (@AgardiJulian @BILD) #CFC

really....missed that...why is he on loan now then...seems wierd

🚨 Chelsea feel they are “well covered” up front for the CWC, so didn’t want to pay “CWC tax” for Gittens. Dortmund were asking for £55m-£60m. (@FabrizioRomano @GiveMeSport)

‼️ The agreement between Bynoe-Gittens, his agents and Chelsea is done until June 2032 on a seven-year contract; and he won’t change his word and plans as he wants Chelsea as his next destination.

Morally I think they deserve to rot with their hollow riches, but practically you have a point.
