Some of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Jan Oblak and Ugurcan Cakir are being linked with moves to Chelsea as speculation continues over the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

A host of keepers have been touted as possible replacements for Kepa amid reports the Spaniard is on his way of Stamford Bridge.


The Daily Mirror now claim Atletico Madrid’s Oblak (pictured) is Chelsea’s “number one goalkeeper target” this summer.

Oblak, who reportedly has a £120m release clause in his contract, has previously been linked with the Blues.

The Mirror say Chelsea value him at under £100m and that the club hope Atletico will agree to a deal which sees Kepa join them in exchange.

The Sun, on the other hand, have picked up reports in Turkey that Chelsea have agreed the signing of Trabzonspor keeper Ugurcan Cakir.

It is claimed that Cakir has been chosen to replace Kepa and is set to move to the Bridge in a £30m deal.

Chelsea and United ‘battling for Rice’

Speculation also continues over the future of West Ham’s Declan Rice.

The England international was previously on the books at Chelsea, who are said to be looking to sign him this summer.

Manchester United are also being linked with Rice.

The Express have picked up on a story by Football Insider, which claimed that United will compete with Chelsea in a battle to sign him.
