Chelsea transfers live

Hello! Welcome to the daily football.london Chelsea transfers live blog with less than 48 hours to go in the summer window. It's Deadline Day Eve, if you like, and there's plenty still to do for the Blues.

The biggest incoming story remains Victor Osimhen, who is in talks with Chelsea over a move but Al-Ahli are also interested if things aren't agreed. It was suggested on Wednesday that a permanent offer may well be made for the striker before long.

If it's not Osimhen then it could be Ivan Toney (or Jhon Duran) at this stage. Chelsea are likely to add a new striker to their ranks one way or another, but Manchester United have been credited with interest in Toney as well now.

Going the other way and the priority for Chelsea is to sell, sell, sell. Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, and Trevoh Chalobah are just three players who the club are keen to get off the books. Carney Chukwuemeka could yet depart as well, whilst there has been talk of Axel Disasi making way too.

In the middle of all this, Chelsea travel to Servette to play in the Conference League on Thursday night. By the time that game finishes there will be just 24 hours until the 11pm Friday deadline.

There's more to come on Jadon Sancho, Djordje Petrovic, Cesare Casadei, and David Datro Fofana too.

Here on football.london, we'll have everything you need to know, direct from Stamford Bridge, as it happens. Don't go anywhere!
