Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors)

Chelsea are continuing to pursue the best youngsters in world football and Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino is next.

The Argentine has reportedly undergone his medical ahead of his move to the Blues. Anselmino is expected to remain at Boca Juniors on loan until January, however.

Filip Jorgensen (Villarreal)

Chelsea are chasing a new goalkeeper and Filip Jorgensen is expected to be announced very shortly.

The Villarreal shot-stopper has signed his contract with the west London club, as per reports, and will challenge Robert Sanchez for the number one jersey this season.

Mike Penders (Genk)

In addition to Jorgensen, Chelsea are also closing in on Genk goalkeeper Mike Penders.

The teenager only made his senior debut in July, but he is highly-rated and is set to join the Blues for a reported €20 million.

Victor Osimhen (Napoli)

Victor Osimhen remains a key Chelsea target and Napoli's interest in Romelu Lukaku means a deal could happen this summer.

A loan deal has even been touted as the Blues continue to pursue the Nigeria international. PSG have reportedly cooled their interest in Osimhen, giving Chelsea a free run at the Napoli star.

Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth)

Milos Kerkez is one of Chelsea’s key left-back targets as they look to bolster their defensive options.

The Hungary international only joined Bournemouth last summer, however he has enjoyed a productive first Premier League campaign and FootballTransfers understands that he is wanted by Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

Nico Williams (Athletic Club)

Chelsea’s wingers have struggled this season and Nico Williams has been touted to join the west London club as a potential replacement for Raheem Sterling, who has underperformed since arriving from Manchester City.

Williams is one of the most exciting youngsters in world football, as proven by his form at Euro 2024, but Barcelona are currently the favourites to sign him.

Murillo (Nottingham Forest)

Murillo is wanted by Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus following an impressive first campaign at Nottingham Forest.

Furthermore, Chelsea are interested in signing the Brazilian as they search for a new left-footed defender. However, the Blues will need to convince Murillo as he recently admitted to The Telegraph that staying at Forest is currently the best option for his career.

Maximilian Beier (Hoffenheim)

Maximilian Beier has emerged as one of Chelsea’s alternative targets to Osimhen and the club have reportedly submitted a concrete offer to Hoffenheim.

Aston Villa are also pushing for the young German forward, so Chelsea face a battle if they are serious about signing Beier.

Samu Omorodion (Atletico Madrid)

Chelsea are also targeting a move for Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion, but he is reportedly eager to remain at the Wanda Metropolitano.

However, Conor Gallagher could move in the opposite direction, which may trigger a move for Omorodion.

Gabriel Mec (Gremio)

The final player on this list is Gremio wonderkid Gabriel Mec. Chelsea have targeted the South American market over the past year-and-a-half, and Mec is their latest target.

He is reportedly keen on the move, although he won't officially become a Chelsea player until he turns 18.
