Official, confirmed. Lesley Ugochukwu joins Southampton on loan from Chelsea. Salary covered and NO buy option clause included.

BREAKING: Yesterday, Thursday, August 15, Juventus & Chelsea talked about an exchange that involved Federico Chiesa and Sterling. Both clubs have explored the feasibility of the operation, but at the moment the deal seems to be blocked. Chelsea could return! (via @DiMarzio)

Mason Burstow joins us on a permanent four-year deal from Chelsea! ✍️ Welcome to Hull City, Mason! Diego Moreira has joined Strasbourg from Chelsea. €2m fee with a buy-back clause. Moreira has signed a five-year contract. ✅️💪

JUST IN: Atletico Madrid want Gallagher but on NEW terms, Chelsea want to discuss Joao, but gap on price tag.. it is a very tricky situation, but working on it. @FabrizioRomano Fuck you Atletico

Osimhen's current weekly salary is £ 211,231 (basic) £ 42,180 (bonus) I don't think Chelsea will take him for less than 200k a week. It looks better for Joao Felix, who signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid on 13 January 2023 with a salary reduction of: £240,230 (base) To: Weekly 98,860 £ (base) 0 £ (bonus)

Important moments in the Lukaku & Osimhen talks. Napoli open to swap, Chelsea trying to bring down upfront costs on bid to balance out outlay for Osimhen wages . Lukaku wants Napoli and Osimhen wants Chelsea. via@FraserFletcher

Will there be quiet mistakes in commitments with players from Washington, Ugochukwu, Angelo, Moreira, Datro Fofana, Casadei, Disasi, Sturge, Matos. Admitted....🤔🫡

Deivid Washington could be sold for an acceptable offer. He is also a candidate for one of the remaining international loan spots. Lesley Ugochukwu was expected to depart on loan soon after Chelsea’s return from the States a week ago, but he's still at Cobham. He could also be sold, but recouping more than the £23.5million paid to French side Rennes for him 12 months ago may prove difficult. On return from injury, £19 million new signing Omari Kellyman began his return to action with the development squad. (@TheAthleticFC)

Sky in Italy are reporting Chelsea and Napoli held positive talks yesterday about the potential transfers of Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku 🔵👀

BREAKING: Joao Felix is very close to Chelsea for €45M+ add-on, Atlético de Madrid's initial demands of €60M have been reduced, as Chelsea would accept to sell Conor Gallagher for less than the agreed amount. Between fixed and variable amounts, it could be €55m. via@MercadoATM Hmm😵‍💫

Exclusive: Chelsea striker Mason Burstow is closing in on a permanent move to Hull City. The club are ready to sell a host of players who didn't get on the club's pre-season tour of the US. via@NizaarKinsella

With Napoli finally willing to go below £100million for Victor Osimhen, Chelsea would also have to substantially lower Romelu Lukaku’s price. (@HITCfootball) 🤣🤣

Understand Chelsea will depending on Outgoings look at Signing a central Defender before the window Slams Shut ✅ Club have monitored Murillo from Nottingham Forrest for a long time now but fee at this stage looks unlikely but one to keep an eye on late in window 🔵✅

Chelsea’s talks with Napoli over a possible deal for Victor Osimhen are progressing and there is a belief from sources that their asking price has dropped. (@tbrfootball)

BREAKING: Oscar Bobb has fractured a bone in his leg and is now set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines. The injury is yet to be fully assessed. [via @Jack_Gaughan]

Exclusive: Alex Matos is nearing an exit from Chelsea. Most likely option currently is a permanent exit abroad. The 2 clubs leading the race are RC Lens and RC Strasbourg. Lens is the players’ preferred destination, but they are yet to agree a fee with Chelsea. via@felixjohnston

Leeds United and other Championship clubs are weighing up a move for Bashir Humphreys before deadline day. Chelsea are believed to prefer the outright sale of the centre-back, who has been training with the club's loan group at Cobham before a potential move. @NizaarKinsella
