Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the latest Chelsea transfer news, rumours and opinion.
The Blues are being put through the paces by Enzo Maresca in pre-season as they prepare to jet off to their pre-season tour of the United States. Maresca’s team will face Wrexham, Celtic, Club America, Manchester City and Real Madrid in friendlies stateside.
Chelsea have been busy in the market but currently have a bloated squad in training and need to do serious work to trim the group. Expect loans and possibly some high-profile sales to follow. Meanwhile, the club are still actively recruiting new additions.
Raphinha is the latest name mentioned whilst a new goalkeeper is also being looked for. Wingers and strikers are also on the list heading into the last 50 days of the window.
On the exit front, Conor Gallagher remains a big talking point. His future is uncertain and talks over a departure continue, Atletico Madrid are the most recent team discussing things. Trevoh Chalobah is in the same camp and fresh links to Murillo only raise questions over how long he will be around.
We’ll have all of this and more throughout the day. Don’t go anywhere.
