All the latest Chelsea news and transfer gossip including updates on Todd Boehly's mission to further the midfield, Mason Mount's contract saga and the Blues' win over Borussia Dortmund
Chelsea and Arsenal battle for Rice signature
According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs in a column for CaughtOffside, Declan Rice is now a top target for both the Gunners and the Blues. The report states that they expect West Ham to cash-in on the midfielder if a bid of around £75million to £85m is submitted.
It's said though that whoever misses out on Rice will revisit a deal for Caicedo. But, the Ecuadorian could be difficult to acquire after he recently penned a new long-term contract at the Amex Stadium.
Newcastle mount Mount transfer race
Chelsea could quickly have a bidding war on their hands as another Premier League club joins the race to sign Mason Mount. The 24-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge after entering the final 18 months of his contract.
Boehly enjoys Sterling goal
After Raheem Sterling broke the deadlock against Borussia Dortmund in the first-half at Stamford bridge, TV cameras caught Todd Boehly celebrating the goal. The American billionaire was seen high-fiving his companions while slightly shaking his head.
Boehly will have been relieved to see the Chelsea star find the net having struggled since joining from Manchester City in the summer. The Blues went on to secure their place in the Champions League quarter-finals and, upon the full-time whistle, he was also pictured giving his wife a kiss.
