Liverpool are plotting a £20m move for Brighton's Ben White following his successful spell with Leeds United but Chelsea are ready to gazump the Premier League champions

Chelsea are looking at Manchester City defender John Stones and hope to sign the 26-year-old England international for £20m.

Chelsea want to raise £65m through the sale of players in order to bid for West Ham's 21-year-old England midfielder Declan Rice.

Chelsea have prioritised the signing of £60m-rated Uruguay defender Jose Gimenez, 25, from Atletico Madrid after being priced out of a move from West Ham's England midfielder and centre-back Declan Rice.

Arsenal have offered a three-year contract to Willian as he edged closer to leaving Chelsea as a free agent. The midfielder has rejected a two-year deal to stay at the west London club.
