BREAKING: Tosin is set to miss Chelsea vs Crystal Palace through injury. (@TimesSport) 🔴We need to step up our game with transfers, sorry.

Chelsea will only sign Alejandro Garnacho AND Xavi Simons if at least two first-team forwards leave before the window closes. Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson and Tyrique George could all move and incomings are exit dependent. In addition, Chelsea would like to transfer David Datro Fofana, Raheem Sterling, and Carney Chukwuemeka. (SkyKaveh)

Chelsea rate Benoit Badiashile very highly and a lot of people I speak to at Chelsea who have seen this guy train, see his demeanour and work ethic think he’s a signing who’s slipped under the radar a bit. (@JacobsBen) 🫥🫥

Brentford closing in on deal to sign Dango Ouattara (23) from Bournemouth. £42.5m deal, reports (@JacobsBen) 😵

Behind the scenes, Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea is “very very advanced, and very active” (@FabrizioRomano)

Chelsea have a 25% sell on clause, meaning we'd get 9.375M of the deal. Pair that with the €23.5M + €1M Loan Fee we initially sold him for, it means we've made €33.875M for him. Guehi next 🔥

There is an ongoing competitive process for the front-of-shirt sponsor with Chelsea believed to have had offers, but focused on aligning with the right long-term partner. The club is aiming to strike a deal worth £60m-£65m per season. New Saudi Arabia airline Riyadh Air have been strongly linked to a potential sponsorship. (@NizaarKinsella & @BBCSport)
