Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Tuesday, July 21.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Chelsea eye possible reinforcements.

The Blues failed to bring in a single player during the January window, despite seeing their transfer ban cut short by FIFA.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Tuesday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Report: Chelsea identify £27m wing-back Robin Gosens as top target

Atalanta BC wing-back Robin Gosens is reportedly at the top of Chelsea boss Frank Lampard's transfer wishlist.

The Blues have been busy ahead of the summer transfer window by already snapping up Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner from Ajax and RB Leipzig respectively.

According to German outlet Kicker, Gosens is next on Chelsea's radar after starring for high-scoring Atalanta in the Champions League and Serie A this term.

Versatile left-sided player Gosens has scored nine goals and registered eight assists in the league alone in 2019-20.

The report indicates that Lampard has identified the 26-year-old as a better option than Leicester City's Ben Chilwell, who could cost treble the £26m Atalanta are after for Gosens.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed elsewhere that Chelsea are also looking to strike a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for star forward Kai Havertz.



Chelsea 'to sign new goalkeeper even if Kepa Arrizabalaga stays'

Chelsea are reportedly planning to sign a new goalkeeper this summer even if Kepa Arrizabalaga remains at Stamford Bridge.

Blues boss Frank Lampard is believed to be looking to offload Kepa and bring in a new first-choice stopper in time for next season.

The Spain international joined Chelsea in a record £71m transfer for a keeper in August 2018 but has failed to win over Lampard, who succeeded Maurizio Sarri last year.

Finding a buyer for Kepa is proving a struggle but, according to The Telegraph, Lampard will push ahead and bring in a new keeper regardless.

Chelsea are said to be eyeing Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak, although his release clause is set at £109m, while Manchester United's Dean Henderson is another - cheaper - option.

Kepa has kept eight clean sheets in the Premier League for Chelsea this season - seven fewer than Burnley's Nick Pope, who is leading the way in the race for the Golden Glove.
