Chelsea are set to be the busiest team in world football on Transfer Deadline Day, with club officials expected to be locked in lengthy talks right up until the summer window slams shut at 23:00 BST.

The Blues have already spent €406.7 million on 11 new first-team signings so far this summer, while they have earned €275m through eight player sales - with Marc Cucurella, Nicolas Jackson and Andrey Santos among their high-profile exits.

Chelsea were also finally able to offload David Datro Fofana on a permanent deal on Monday - with the striker joining Servette for €2.5m - and they are expected to sanction a host of other deals before the end of Deadline Day.

In regards to incomings, FootballTransfers understands that Chelsea are pushing to sign AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone, with personal terms now agreed, although their priority is player departures.

Below, FootballTransfers runs through 12 players who could leave Stamford Bridge before the window closes.

Enzo Fernandez

Enzo Fernandez is now expected to become a Manchester City player and he may even break Alexander Isak’s record as the most expensive transfer in Premier League history.

Personal terms have been fully agreed and it’s understood that City have initiated formal talks with Chelsea over a deal. This is one that will be completed shortly.

Tosin Adarabioyo

Tottenham Hotspur have reached a full agreement to sign Tosin Adarabioyo on a permanent deal and a medical has been scheduled.

He will arrive for a fee in excess of €10m and it’s understood that he will be a replacement for Kevin Danso, who is joining Sunderland.

Mykhailo Mudryk

In addition to signing Tosin, Spurs have also finalised a loan deal for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who has been cleared to return to competitive action following a doping ban.

Mudryk will reunite with his former Shakhtar Donetsk boss Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham and it’s reported that an €87.5m (£75m) buy option clause has been included in the deal.

Dario Essugo

If Chelsea are able to sign the aforementioned Kone, they are expected to allow Dario Essugo to depart on loan.

However, a proposed move to Hull City has collapsed and a transfer to sister club Strasbourg may be Essugo’s only option before the window closes.

Robert Sanchez

Robert Sanchez has fallen to third-choice in the goalkeeper pecking order following the signing of Emiliano Martinez, and he is now on the verge of leaving Chelsea.

Como have agreed a loan deal for the Spaniard and he will formally join Cesc Fabregas’ side today.

Jamie Gittens

Jamie Gittens had been tipped to stay at Chelsea, but AS Roma are pushing to sign him and a loan deal may be agreed amid the club’s talks over Kone.

Gittens appears to be firmly behind Morgan Rogers’ in Alonso’s thinking, while he faces competition from Estevao Willian, Pedro Neto and Geovany Quenda too.

Landon Emenalo

It’s understood that an agreement for Landon Emenalo to join Celtic on loan has been agreed, with the defender set to arrive as cover for Kieran Tierney.

However, the deal is in doubt due to an injury he picked up earlier this month and it remains to be seen if he will pass his medical.

Shumaira Mheuka

In addition to Emenalo, fellow academy starlet Shumaira Mheuka has also been tipped to depart on loan and rumours suggest that an agreement has been finalised.

His contract extension has not yet been publicly announced, so it’s expected that Chelsea will confirm his new deal and his loan move at the same time.

Gabriel Slonina

With Martinez now first-choice and Mike Penders his back-up option, Gabriel Slonina and Teddy Sharman-Lowe are in competition for the next goalkeeper slot at Stamford Bridge.

Sharman-Lowe was favoured in pre-season and Slonina may therefore depart.

Kendry Paez

Kendry Paez’s loan spell at River Plate was cut short last week and Chelsea are keen to find a new solution for the Ecuador international, who is yet to make his first-team debut for the Blues.

It’s reported that Celtic have been offered the chance to sign him, although it remains to be seen if Martin O’Neill’s side will pursue a deal.

Aaron Anselmino

Aaron Anselmino may be forced to stay at Chelsea following the departures of Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile and Mamadou Sarr on loan, and Tosin’s imminent move to Spurs. However, an exit can’t be ruled out.

He has suitors across Europe and the Blues may be tempted to loan him out again if they are unable to guarantee him game time.

Deivid Washington

Deivid Washington is the forgotten man at Chelsea. Signed for €16m in 2023, he hasn’t made a first-team appearance since his debut season and the club are struggling to shift him.

Sevilla have been linked with a late loan move.
