Chelsea could complete as many as 11 transfers before the 11pm deadline tonight. The Blues have been among the very busiest of Premier League clubs over the summer, welcoming 11 new players to Xabi Alonso's squad while offloading 14, including Andrey Santos, Nicolas Jackson and Marc Cucurella.
Chelsea have started with two wins from two under Alonso and the Spanish coach could make some final changes to his group today as they target a potential title challenge. Express Sport brings you all the details on what could happen at Chelsea today...
The big story with the Blues is the future of wantaway vice-captain Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea want at least £120million for the World Cup-winning midfielder, who Manchester City have now made their first official bid for.
The signing of Fernandez would help City replace the departed Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Tijjani Reijnders and Nico Gonzalez. They have also added Elliot Anderson and Ayyou Bouaddi to their squad in this window.
Fernandez, who joined Chelsea for £107m in February 2023, has not been in either of the club's last two match-day squads. The Londoners are ready to sell if they can source a high-quality replacement.
Xabi Alonso said: "We'll see. We want the best for the team and that's why we made the decision against Luton and today [to leave Fernandez out]. Anything that happens before Tuesday evening, we need to be aware of what is going to develop.
"We are not sure, we are preparing for all the scenarios but I am sure that whatever happens from Wednesday we will have a good enough squad to compete in all the Premier League games."

Should Enzo Fernandez be allowed to leave before tonight, Chelsea could complete their 13th new signing of the window. Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara and Roma's Manu Kone are the two top options to replace the Argentine.
Both feature highly on the list of options. Camara, 22, has attracted a lot of Premier League interest this summer but Monaco remain hopeful of keeping the Senegal international, who would cost around £38.5million.
Manager Filipe Luis said on Sunday after Camara played against Marseille: "I hope to keep him. You see the player that he is – unbelievable. Until the end of the transfer window, anything can happen. Everyone hopes that he stays. He is elite."
France international Kone, who was part of his country's World Cup squad over the summer, is slightly older at 25 and would cost a bit more at £51m or so.
He hoped Roma to a 4-0 win yesterday after which manager Gian Piero Gasperini said: "Absolutely not, it's a media thing. No one has ever spoken to me about departures, not Kone or anyone else. Especially now, with just 24 hours to go before the transfer window closes."

With one potential incoming, Chelsea could wave goodbye to a raft of players this month. Tosin Adarabioyo is one of two players poised to join Tottenham.
The centre-back will head to Spurs for £7million plus add-ons while Mykhaylo Mudryk joins on loan with a £75m buy option, rather than an obligation. The north London club will pay a fee to sign the Ukrainian winger.
After the signing of new No.1 goalkeeper Emi Martinez from Aston Villa, shot-stopper Robert Sanchez has been given the green light to head to Cesc Fabregas' Como on loan.
On top of those three departures, striker Marc Guiu is expected to seal a permanent move to RB Leipzig. And fellow forward Shim Mheuka could go out on loan a few weeks after signing a new Chelsea contract until 2033.
Midfielder Dario Essugo is in talks with Hull City about a loan move and another striker, Deivid Washington, could also go out on loan to Strasbourg or Sevilla.
Goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina is another who could leave on loan, alongside Aaron Anselmino and Landon Emenalo. Slonina and Emenalo have both been linked with Celtic. Pedro Neto's future is not completely certain but he is expected to stay courtesy of a £100m price tag.
