The news around Chelsea at the moment the focus is on the club pulling out of the proposed Super League after a setback from the fans.
The news overshadowed Tuesday night’s pointless draw against Brighton, which was another indication that the team, despite great progress in recent months, is still not quite at the highest level.
However, there is a lively atmosphere at the Blues thanks to their qualification for the FA Cup final and their place in the Champions League semi-finals, while playing for a top four final this season.
Thomas Tuchel will look ahead to the summer transfer window – his first at the club – and will no doubt be watching potential signings while dropping off a few fringe players.
Here’s the latest transfer rumors from Stamford Bridge.

Fikayo Tomori borrowed from Italian giants Milan in January, and the club has the option to make this deal permanent.
A report by the Gazzetta dello Sport in Milan, as quoted by Sport Witness, outlines how the Rossoneri intend to retain the Blues youths and are even willing to sell club captain Alessio Romagnoli to fund the deal .
The 23-year-old has made 14 first-team appearances for the Milanese giants, forging an impressive defensive partnership with Simon Kjaer, and the club has a € 28 million (£ 24 million) option to sign him permanently.
These latest reports suggest that Tomori will make his move to Italy permanent.

Chelsea signed Malang Sarr as a free agent last year after his release from Nice, but he was immediately loaned out to FC Porto.
However, the 22-year-old is limited to 19 games in Portugal – and only five league starts – and is expected to return to Stamford Bridge this summer.
It is according to a report in the Portuguese outlet A Bola – according to Sport Witness – that says that the defender could not impress centrally or as a fullback for Porto.
Indeed, the French u.21 player has been playing for Porto’s B team for the past few weeks.
Blues eye Iheanacho
Chelsea may want to land a new striker this summer with question marks over the future of both Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud.
The Blues are now linked with a deal to sign Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to a report in Spanish Fichajes.
Iheanacho joined the Foxes from Manchester City in 2017, and despite struggling for minutes, he excelled this campaign with 15 goals and five assists in 31 games.
Indeed, ten of those goals have come in the Nigerian’s last seven games, and the report also claims that Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in the player.
