Welcome to the football.london transfer briefing. To help you keep on top of all things Chelsea going on in the market we've got the latest noises coming from social media, journalists and so-called ITKs, rounding up what's what in the world of the Blues.
Mbappe offer
Chelsea have reportedly made a blockbuster move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Spanish outlet Nacional, via football365, have claimed the Blues have made a $131 million bid as well as offering four players for the French superstar. According to the report, Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Cesar Azpilicueta and Romelu Lukaku are the four players included in Chelsea's offer.
football.london says: Wow. If Chelsea manage to pull this off, Todd Boehly would receive plenty of plaudits. Mbappe's future at PSG is continuing to look uncertain following reports he had refused to extend his current contract.
PSG's enormous $218m asking price for their superstar has put a number of clubs off, but apparently not Chelsea. There's plenty to think about though, with the 24-year-old set to demand a big salary at Stamford Bridge.
But Mbappe brings goals and would fit the bill perfectly for Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine has already worked under Mbappe and enjoyed success with him. If Chelsea and Boehly manage to complete this transfer, they will definitely be one of Europe's most dangerous teams.

Ziyech deal blow
Hakim Ziyech's proposed move to Al-Nassr has reportedly collapsed. The winger is one of many Chelsea players up for sale this summer and was close to joining Eduoard Mendy and N'Golo Kante in the Saudi Professional League.
It's said that the Moroccan couldn't agree to the final terms over a three-year contract with Al-Nassr. Ziyech's fitness is also said to be a concern after he reportedly failed a medical.
It isn't the first time Ziyech has missed out on a Stamford Bridge escape route. Back in January, a move to PSG fell through on deadline day, with various reports claiming the wrong paperwork was filled out by Chelsea.
football.london says: Ziyech's time at Chelsea has just been full of struggles and disappointment. His move to Saudi Arabia collapsing leaves him back at square one.
He certainly doesn't seem to have a future at Stamford Bridge and with the players ahead of him in attack, it's unlikely that Pochettino will even consider using him next season. A move to Saudi would have handed him the perfect fresh start.
Now, both parties simply have to come to some sort of agreement this summer. Ziyech, as he showed at the World Cup, is capable of producing high-quality performances and he just needs to be in the right environment to do so.
