Chelsea and Manchester City are currently trailing Real Madrid in the race to sign highly-rated Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni this summer, with Thomas Tuchel looking to bolster his midfield options.
N'Golo Kante is set to have just one year remaining on his current Chelsea contract at the end of the season, leaving the club with a big decision to make. At 31-years-old, Kante is unlikely to be offered a new long-term deal, so the Blues may be weighing up whether to cash in on the midfielder while they still can.
Jorginho also finds himself in the same position with the Italy international strongly linked with a future return to Serie A. Declan Rice has been touted as a possible reinforcement but with West Ham likely to demand in the region of £100 million for his signature, it is a deal that remains up in the air for the time being.
