Chelsea attacker Hakim Ziyech has been in good spirit so far in 2022/23 pre-season training amid links with a move to AC Milan.
The future of the current Blues forward line has been put into jeopardy since the transfer window opened its doors on the weekend commencing June 10. Romelu Lukaku has already left for an Inter Milan loan return. Meanwhile, Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and the Moroccan himself have had their futures thrown into doubt after it was revealed that new owner Todd Boehly had sanctioned a £200million plus war chest, which included player sales, to revamp the squad with up to six new signings.
Whilst a large chunk will be spent on the defensive rebuild amid strong rumours on Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt and Manchester City's Nathan Aké, it is also understood that the attack is another priority on Boehly's list to tick off. football.london understands that a deal has already been agreed for primary target Raheem Sterling, although moves for Raphinha and Ousmane Dembélé have been put into major doubt, especially as Barcelona now have extra funds to try and ruin the Blues' transfer plans.
