Chelsea have officially announced the signing of Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Dewsbury-Hall was a key player under new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca and he has been reunited with the Italian following a €35.4 million (£30m) move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea faced competition from Brighton & Hove Albion, but the Blues have won the race for the Englishman’s signature. He has officially become their fourth summer signing, following the arrivals of Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu.

Seven players could be sold

Chelsea are reportedly willing to sell seven first-team stars as they look to trim down Enzo Maresca’s squad ahead of the new campaign.

Last season, the Blues allowed senior stars Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech and Kepa Arrizabalaga to leave the club on loan. However, this will not happen again.

That is according to The Athletic, who have revealed that only academy players and those under the age of 21 will be loaned out for the 2024-25 season.

In addition, Chelsea are reportedly willing to sell Armando Broja, Cesare Casadei, David Datro Fofana, Malang Sarr, Trevoh Chalobah, Lukaku and Kepa on permanent deals.

Chelsea want James McAtee

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City youngster James McAtee as they continue to back Maresca in the transfer market.

A number of clubs are reportedly monitoring his situation at the Etihad Stadium, with a permanent exit potentially possible this summer.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Chelsea are among the clubs to have expressed interest in McAtee and the Blues have already enquired about his availability.

Maresca worked with McAtee during his time at Man City and even attempted to sign him at Leicester City last summer.

Chelsea confirm Marc Guiu

Chelsea have announced the signing of Marc Guiu.

The 18-year-old striker has joined the club from Barcelona after the Blues activated his €6 million release clause. The youngster decided to reject a bumper new contract from his boyhood club, instead heading to west London.

Chelsea want Giorgi Mamardashvili

Chelsea have been keeping a keen eye on a number of their transfer targets at Euro 2024 and they are ready to seriously pursue a move for Giorgi Mamardashvili after his performances for Georgia.

The Valencia goalkeeper was outstanding during the group stages and was a key reason why they qualified for the knockout stages.

Georgia may have succumbed to a 4-1 defeat to Spain on Sunday evening, but Mamardashvili’s form at the tournament could earn him a big-money summer move.

Chelsea will face competition from Manchester UInited in the race to sign him, as per Fichajes.
