Chelsea are hoping to tie up a double deal for Barcelona duo Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to reports...
The Blues have already got a number of deals over the line this summer with Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Carney Chukwuemeka, Kalidou Koulibaly and Gabriel Slonina all joining.
But Chelsea are far from done as they look for a midfielder – despite it being their strongest position – and a striker with the possibility that they are still on the lookout for another centre-back after losing both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfer at the end of June.De Jong has been the longest-running transfer saga of the summer with Manchester United declaring their interest in the Netherlands international well over two months ago.
