The Blues have already added Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer from Fulham, while they have confirmed a deal that will see Brazilian teenager Estevao join the club next year.

Now, Chelsea are on the verge of adding three more players to their roster ahead of the 2024-25 Premier League season.

Dewsbury-Hall’s move is at an extremely advanced stage, with a medical booked after Chelsea reached an agreement with Leicester City, while Guiu and Anselmino are also expected to join the Stamford Bridge outfit very shortly.

Chelsea have already triggered the €6 million release clause in Guiu’s Barcelona contract and Anselino is set to arrive too. According to Ben Jacobs, a deal for the Boca Juniors defender is now close to completion after a €16.5m fee was agreed between the two clubs.

All three deals are expected to be finalised within the coming days.

What has Fabrizio Romano said?

Transfer expert Romano provided an update on Chelsea’s transfer business to CaughtOffside. “Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City – the deal is done for £30m,” he said.

“The player had a medical at Brighton earlier this week but now he’s joining Chelsea because he wanted to wait for them. Michael Golding is moving from Chelsea to Leicester as part of the agreement.

“Chelsea are also set to announce the signing of Marc Guiu from Barcelona after they triggered the €6m release clause, while his medical was also done two days ago.

“Next one - Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors, with negotiations underway between the two clubs. The agreement is really close, it’s about the final details, while there is already an agreement with the player on a contract until 2030.”
