Chelsea can secure £70m transfer windfall as Real Madrid eye swoop for Thomas Tuchel favourite

Chelsea look set for another summer of change at Stamford Bridge as Todd Boehly prepares to move on a number of current stars from Graham Potter's squad. The Blues currently have a bloated senior squad with the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz all linked with summer exits.

The latter has struggled in attack this season for Chelsea but has regained some form before the international break, scoring in his last three matches in all competitions. Before March, Havertz had only scored six goals in the 2022/23 campaign - highlighting the Blues' problems in front of goal under Potter.

football.london understands Chelsea are set to sign RB Leipzig superstar Christopher Nkunku this summer after agreeing a pre-contract with the Frenchman. Nkunku predominantly plays as a striker in the Bundesliga which may see Chelsea look to move on Havertz ahead of next season after he was signed from Bayer Leverkusen for £75million in 2020.
