In the meantime, however, there is still plenty of transfer news to work through at Stamford Bridge.

Check out the latest Premier League speculation below...

Benfica could demand as much as £30 million for Newcastle United-linked striker Goncalo Ramos.

Newcastle United Matty Longstaff is expected to depart St. James’ Park on loan before the end of the transfer window. The 22-year-old spent last season with Aberdeen and Mansfield Town, and is understood to have EFL clubs interested in signing him this summer. (ChronicleLive)

Leeds United could be “offered” the services of Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins in the coming days, according to journalist Dean Jones. He said:“What would happen in a situation like this is, typically, intermediaries start targeting obvious clubs when a player is made to feel like they don’t have much of a future. So, if that is the case with Watkins, like it’s been reported, then I would expect Leeds, Crystal Palace, Everton also be offered his services in the next week or so just to gauge how much interest there is out there.” (GiveMeSport)
