Chelsea have revived their talks for Sevilla centre back Jules Kounde.
Thomas Tuchel is looking to streamline his squad to make way for the £68m rated France international.
Full back Davide Zappacosta is joining Atalanta on an initial loan with view to permanent £8million deal while striker Ike Ugbo is joining Genk for £5m.
West Ham and Tottenham remain interested in a deal for Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma while Chelsea defender Malang Sarr, 22, is discussing a loan to Bologna.
Everton have also made an enquiry for the left-sided centre-back who is expected to decide after meetings today.
Chelsea are also close to agreeing another loan to AC Milan for Tiemoue Bakayoko as the European champions monitor developments with Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez.
Atletico are willing to sell the Spain international as he is one of their highest earners. The 26-year-old has also attracted attention from Manchester United.

After Chàlobah showed what he's capable of, I don't think they need Kounde no more....

Lukaku is such a tank 🔥💪 Chelsea are gonna be even more imposing with him on the pitch and if they manage to sign Kounde I genuinely see them as UCL favorites alongside PSG and City
