Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing three West Ham players in the next transfer window.
The Hammers have had a difficult 2025/26 season, raising concerns that several stars will want to leave in the summer.
With that in mind, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City have all shown interest in at least one West Ham player.
London rivals Chelsea have now joined the race for Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes.
Would you rather sell Bowen or Summerville this summer?

Chelsea show interest in West Ham’s Bowen, Summerville and Fernandes
Transfer insider Simon Phillips has reported that Chelsea have Bowen, Summerville, and Fernandes on their shortlist.
However, the Blues would only be interested in the trio if the Hammers are relegated from the Premier League.
The West London club are specifically looking to seize opportunities to sign quality players at cut-price fees in the summer.

Besides the obvious disappointment of going down, this is a key reason West Ham desperately need to stay up.
It would be a travesty if Bowen, Summerville and Fernandes all left in the same window – especially for much less than their market values.
Concerning Chelsea, all three players would improve their first-team squad, if not their starting eleven.

What can he still IMPROVE upon?

Bowen seems the least likely, as he would block Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian’s pathway.
Summerville, on the other hand, is significantly better than Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens on the left wing.
Meanwhile, Fernandes would be an excellent like-for-like replacement for Enzo Fernandez if he were to join Real Madrid.
It is not surprising to see the Blues join the ever-growing list of teams interested in West Ham’s top players.
All that the Hammers can do now is focus on staying in the Premier League, which would give them a fighting chance to keep at least some of them.
