The priority for co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart as this summer of squad overhaul draws to a close will be outgoings.
Chelsea are yet to solve their expensive Romelu Lukaku problem but have held talks with Roma, while Callum Hudson-Odoi is still searching for a new home. Malang Sarr belongs in that bracket, too, given his status as another high-earner not included in Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team group. You can also expect loans for several academy youngsters on the senior fringes, such as Tino Anjorin.
Having utilised the Bank of Cobham to offset their vast transfer spending in this window, Chelsea could still listen to good offers for home-grown products Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, Bashir Humphreys and Ian Maatsen, despite impressive showings in pre-season.
Incomings should slow now, but Chelsea have completed a deal for New England Revolution goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. Pochettino would like another attacking player “with the right profile”, though he is wary of creating a logjam once Armando Broja, Carney Chukwuemeka and Nkunku are fit and available for selection again.
