Chelsea ‘confident’ of completing signing while two players could leave

Chelsea return to the action this weekend away at Leeds United.

The Blues have picked up four points from their opening two matches.

They won the opening game away at Everton but were held 2-2 by rivals Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

Here is a look at the latest news coming out of the club today....

Striker hunt latest

Chelsea are reportedly hopeful of striking a deal to sign Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The former Arsenal man only moved to Spain earlier this year but could already be on his way back to London before the end of the transfer window.

CBS Sport reporter Ben Jacobs has said that Thomas Tuchel’s side are ‘confident’ that their latest offer for the Gabon star will be accepted (see tweet below):

Player heading out?

Wolves are said to have lodged an approach for Michy Batshauyi.

The attacker has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and doesn’t seem to be in the plans for the first-team.

90min report that Bruno Lage’s side have ‘made an offer’ for the Belgium international, who is also wanted by his former boss Frank Lampard at Everton.

Defender available

Chelsea will apparently make Trevor Chalobah available for transfer if they are able to land key target Wesley Fofana from fellow Premier League side Leicester City.

The defender has been on the books of the London giants for his whole career to date but is facing an uncertain future between now and the end of the month.

90min claim his side will ‘listen’ to offers for him.
