The Blues have already added Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner to their squad ahead of next season for a combined fee of around £89m.


Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell and Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz  have also been touted as targets for Frank Lampard's side ahead of the transfer window.

Chelsea are reportedly prepared to cash in on midfielder N'Golo Kante this summer to fund any further signings.

According to The Times, however, Lampard has been told that players may have to be moved on to bankroll deals for one or both of Chilwell and Havertz.

Kante is said to be one of those who could depart, with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid rumoured to have showed an interest in the Frenchman.

Marcos Alonso, Baba Rahman, Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Michy Batshuayi also face uncertain futures at Stamford Bridge.
