Chelsea eye Bundesliga star as Wesley Fofana alternative after Leicester reject latest £70m bid

Chelsea have just one week left to get their squad in shape before the transfer window shuts until January 2023 and there's plenty left to do. Thomas Tuchel has managed to add three new first-team starters in the side, with Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella all joining the club.

Further changes are expected, with players set to leave the club that are unlikely to feature or play a large role this campaign as the manager eyes a refresh. Plenty of targets continue to be linked too, with the likes of Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Anthony Gordon just three of those.

Tuchel has admitted that he is unsure if any deals will progress though, telling reporters after the match: "We need to wait. The transfer period is still open. It gets later and later, and we need to focus on what we have and what we can do."
