Welcome to football.london's Chelsea transfer news live blog.
You can be forgiven for thinking that, after signing a whopping 10 players this summer, Chelsea might have taken their foot off the gas when it comes to their transfer activity.
New head coach Xabi Alonso has already welcomed new signings Marco Palestra, Morgan Rogers, Danny Welbeck, Maxence Lacroix and Jordan Henderson. The Blues also struck several pre-agreed deals prior to the summer, with Valentin Barco, Geovany Quenda, Emmanuel Emegha, Denner and Dastan Satpayev all arriving at Stamford Bridge too.
But there are still rumours of some big deals potentially being completed between now and the transfer deadline on September 1.
Vice-captain Enzo Fernandez's future remains in doubt, with reports suggesting the Argentine is not deemed 'untouchable' by Alonso. Meanwhile, the manager is said to be a huge fan of Arsenal's Martin Zubimendi and has reportedly told Blues bosses to explore a move for his fellow Basque.
That's not all, as rumours grow regarding Chelsea's pursuit of Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria and Trevoh Chalobah arrived in Italy for his medical. Stick with us to stay up to date on all the latest murmurs around Stamford Bridge.
