Your morning Chelsea digest on Tuesday, August 29.
Sancho shock
Chelsea have been linked with a move for Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho as they look to restock their attacking midfield options following injuries to Christopher Nkunku and Carney Chukwuemeka.
As the Blues also prepare to welcome an offer from the Red Devils for left-back Marc Cucurella, social media reports suggest that Sancho could yet be heading in the opposite direction.
As a player with Premier League experience and of the desired age for new signings, Sancho is someone that would make sense in a lot of areas for Chelsea. However, his diminishing returns at Old Trafford do pose major questions.
Felix shock
Chelsea could be about to watch on as former loanee Joao Felix moves to Liverpool after reports suggest that the Portugal star is their ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah should he leave.
Salah has been the target of much attention from the Saudi Pro League late on this summer with Al Ittihad preparing a move. It has been said that the player has accepted an offer but is now waiting for Liverpool to give the greenlight themselves.
For Chelsea, they turned down keeping Felix on at the end of last season following his six-month loan spell but now find themselves once more in the market for an attacking player in the No.10 position.
Emile Smith Rowe interest
Chelsea are interested in Arsenal and England ace Emile Smith Rowe as they look to add another attacker to their ranks before the September 1 summer deadline. The Hale End graduate has found minutes hard to come by since an injury last season and is out of favour under Mikel Arteta.
The Daily Mail now write that Chelsea have added him to a shortlist with Barcelona pair Ferran Torres and Raphinha as options for Mauricio Pochettino. Although it is said that nothing is advanced, the Blues are watching the trio with ability to make a move.
Chelsea are also looking at Lyon duo Bradley Barcola and Rayan Cherki as well, football.london understands.
