Chelsea face an important summer in the transfer market as they look to improve their squad further following Enzo Maresca's arrival.
Mauricio Pochettino joined the Blues last summer, however he lasted just 11 months in charge and left by mutual consent on 21 May after a post-season review meeting.
The Blues subsequently announced on 3 June that Maresca had been appointed as their new manager.
Although Todd Boehly has overseen a spend of more than €1 billion on new players since arriving at the club in 2022, there has been no success to show for it, with the Stamford Bridge outfit finishing 12th in his first campaign as owner and sixth in 2023-24.
However, Chelsea continue to target a raft of promising young players, despite the evident need for more experience in the dressing room.
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen initially headlined Chelsea’s summer transfer targets, but the Blues are also looking at alternatives, and many other deals could well be completed in a bid to get their squad into shape.
The west London club have already signed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Renato Veiga, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo this summer, while Estevao Willian will arrive in 2025.
In addition, Chelsea have also sold the likes of Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall and Omari Hutchinson, with Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva departing on free transfers.
Our Chelsea transfer live blog brings you all the latest news surrounding the Blues, including exclusives from our own reporters as well as checking out what the other big names are saying (including the likes of Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein).
The Blues are expected to see several more players come and go this summer, and the Stamford Bridge rumour mill is already in full swing.

When will Estevao sign for Chelsea?
Estevao will officially become a Chelsea player after the Club World Cup.
The 17-year-old signed for the Blues last summer in an eye-watering €60 million deal, but has not been able to join up with the Blues yet due to his age.
He will play at the Club World Cup for Palmeiras before officially joining Chelsea, according to his agent Andre Cury.
"He's arriving after the Club World Cup," Cury told AS in a lengthy interview. "He's a world-class player. Very good. A guy who's going to make history here."
No'Reilly?
Kudus fee SLASHED
Chelsea could secure a cut-price deal for Mohammed Kudus.
The West Ham forward was a revelation with the club last season but has been unable to replicate that form in what has been a dismal campaign for the Hammers in 2024/25.
The East London side initially wanted €100 million to allow him to leave, while a €120m move to Saudi Arabia was mentioned, but TeamTalk reports that the club would accept €70m.

Chelsea and Man Utd on alert as Maignan contract talks STALL
Chelsea and Manchester United have been put on high alert as Mike Maignan's contract talks with Milan have hit a wall.
The Frenchman is recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe and was previously in talks to extend his stay at San Siro, though those talks have since stalled.
Both Chelsea and United are on the lookout for a new keeper this summer and €40 million could be enough to secure a deal. (Caught Offside)

Huijsen alternative identified
Chelsea are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Dean Huijsen, but they have identified Jorrel Hato as an alternative.
The Bournemount defender will be a wanted man this summer as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool,Tottenham and Bayern Munich have all been linked with a move, in addition to the Blues.
Should Chelsea fail to sign Huijsen, they will look to Ajax's Hato. (MailSport)
Chelsea target DREAMS of Premier League
It is reportedly a dream of Serhou Guirassy to one day play in the Premier League.
The Borussia Dortmund striker has been superb in an average BVB team this campaign and during the week scored a hat-trick against Barcelona in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
He was linked with Chelsea last year while at Stuttgart but Dortmund moved quickly to secure his signature. He has a release clause of €70 million that can only be triggered by a handful of clubs - including Chelsea. (Bild)
The Blues CANNOT lose him
The right move?
Delap prefers Arsenal or Chelsea to Man Utd
Ipswich will be relegated from the Premier League before the end of the season and when it is made official, a £30 million relegation clause will activate for Liam Delap.
The player will be a wanted man this summer as half the league is interested in a deal, but it is believed he wants to play in Europe which has alerted the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
That preference also rules out the possibility of a move to Man Utd - unless they win the Europa League. (Daily Express)
Benfica want Joao Felix back
Chelsea hope to sell Joao Felix for a fee this summer but Benfica are willing to take their former player on loan.
The Portuguese forward signed for Chelsea before the start of this season but failed to impress, which resulted in a loan spell at Milan which has been a disaster.
Benfica want him back and would be willing to take him off Chelsea's hands on loan ahead of the Club World Cup. (Record Portugal)
