Chelsea transfer news, rumours and gossip: Live updates and latest on deals, signings, loans and contracts

Chelsea remain one of the busiest clubs in the transfer market as the summer window continues to gather pace.

The Blues are expected to strengthen several areas of the squad, with the club focusing on young talents, attacking reinforcements and long-term contract extensions.

One of the biggest names linked with Chelsea is Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker has been heavily connected with a move to Stamford Bridge for months, with Chelsea continuing to monitor his situation. Napoli are still expected to demand a huge transfer fee, while Osimhen’s wages could also become a major factor in negotiations.

Chelsea are also reportedly interested in Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens. The 21-year-old is seen as one of the most exciting young attacking players in Europe and could fit Chelsea’s strategy of signing players with long-term potential.

In midfield, there have been fresh rumours linking Chelsea with Sporting CP star Morten Hjulmand. The Danish international has impressed with his leadership, defensive qualities and ability to control games from deep positions.

Chelsea are also expected to make decisions on several players already in the squad. Questions remain over the futures of Raheem Sterling, Trevoh Chalobah, Armando Broja and Kepa Arrizabalaga, with all four players attracting interest from clubs in England and abroad.

The club could also send several young players out on loan again next season in order to give them regular first-team football. Chelsea have frequently used the loan market to help develop their young talents before bringing them back into the senior squad.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are working on new contracts for some of their key players as they look to secure the future of the squad. The club sees Cole Palmer, Malo Gusto and Levi Colwill as important parts of its long-term project.

Chelsea supporters can expect more movement in the coming weeks as the club continues to explore signings, sales, loan deals and contract renewals ahead of the new season.
