Despite having spent almost £1 billion in the last three transfer windows, Chelsea are promising to be active again when the transfer window opens again, and have identified three positions as priorities. Striker is a key position as they have not yet found a reliable goalscorer. Nicolas Jakson is still raw, and Christopher Nkonku has yet to kick a ball ...

Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is the latest player linked with a move to Chelsea, although Manchester City are also reported to be interested in the 24 year old. Bastoni began his career as a full-back before moving inside, and has since become one of the finest central defenders in Europe. He was an integral member of the team that ...

Chelsea’s need for a top level striker remains, and, with Christopher Jackson only fit enough to start from the bench against Arsenal, they were forced to go into the game without a recognised front man.

He spent the second half of last season on loan with Fulham, ...

Chelsea have activated a clause in the contract of full-back Ian Maatsen in order to fend off interest from Barcelona.

The 21 year old spent last season on loan with Burnley, helping them secure promotion ...

Thiago Silva has hinted that he is set to return to Brazil next season. At 39 years old, the Chelsea defender is now the oldest active player in the Premier league, but he is out of contract at Stamford Bridge in June, and he is already thinking about the future. But, if he is not offered a new deal, rather ...

Chelsea have been scouting Sporting Lisbon defender Ousmane Diomané who was the subject of interest from Arsenal in the summer. The Gunners went so far as to make a £30 million bid for the Ivory Coast international but that was turned down by the Portuguese club. Not turned 20 yet, Diomané fits the age profile of the type of player ...
