The transfer window may be closed, but Chelsea are working hard behind the scenes ahead of next summer's window. The Blues are close to agreeing a deal to sign Christopher Nkunku, while the Frenchman's RB Leipzig team-mate Josko Gvardiol is also being heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
Interest in the likes of Nkunku and Gvardiol shows that under the ownership of Todd Boehly, Chelsea are chasing some of the most highly-rated young players in Europe. Another player who fits the bill and has been linked with a move to the Blues is Rafael Leao.
The AC Milan forward's name was mentioned with a transfer to Chelsea throughout the summer and the Blues are said to be monitoring the situation. According to reports, the Portuguese could sign a new contract with the Italian giants, but if he doesn't, then they will be forced to consider offers that come in.
