Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is on the verge of joining Chelsea from Leicester City.

Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors)

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

Talks are advancing and some reports suggest the Blues have already agreed a deal to sign the 19-year-old Argentine.

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, and Chelsea are currently assessing whether or not to activate his €50 million release clause at Athletic Club.

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.

Riccardo Calafiori (Bologna)

In addition to Murillo, Chelsea are also keen on Italy’s Euro 2024 star Riccardo Calafiori. He caught the eye at Bologna last season and his reputation has skyrocketed following his performances at the European Championship.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are determined to sign a left-footed defender and Calfiori fits the bill.

Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia)

Djordje Petrovic and Robert Sanchez both joined Chelsea last summer, but the Blues remain keen to sign another new goalkeeper.

Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili is one of their key targets, but the Spanish side have reportedly increased their asking price after his eye-catching form at Euro 2024.

Jhon Duran (Aston Villa)

Chelsea’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen has seemingly ended and the Blues have reportedly turned their attention to Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran instead.

The Colombian wants to join the Blues, and was heavily touted to join the club last month, although links have gone slightly cold of late. A move to Chelsea remains a possibility, however.

Maximilian Beier (Hoffenheim)

With Osimhen unlikely, Maximilian Beier has emerged as one of Chelsea’s alternative targets to Duran.

He has reportedly been internally discussed as an option by the club, although the Blues are yet to start negotiations.

Antonee Robinson (Fulham)

Antonee Robinson has been linked with a move to Chelsea for several months, although his current contract at Craven Cottage runs until 2028 after he signed a new deal last year.

As a result, Chelsea may be forced to pay a substantial fee to sign the USMNT international, which could prove to be a problem.
