Chelsea are still waiting to make their first transfer of the summer, with the window starting to heat up. Reports suggest Thomas Tuchel has over £200million to spend under new owner Todd Boehly.
A number of players have already left the club, with plenty more expected to leave in the coming weeks. Romelu Lukaku, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso are among the names mentioned with an exit.
In return, Tuchel has the task of making additions to his squad in preparation for the next campaign. High-profile players have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but there is yet to be a first signing made.

With that said, football.london takes a look at the latest rumours surrounding Chelsea this summer.
Raphinha deal agreed
Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Raphinha from Leeds United, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move to a number of clubs this summer, having impressed with the Yorkshire side.
The report states that £60-to-£65million is the fee agreed, with talks set to be held with representatives over personal terms.
Zinchenko move
Chelsea are interested in a move for Manchester City player Oleksandr Zinchenko, according to the Daily Mail. The Ukraine international has reportedly been of interest to Arsenal in recent weeks.
Zinchenko’s versatility makes him available at both left-back and in the midfield, though links with a move for Marc Cucurella could open up the possibility of a move away.
Jules Kounde price
Sevilla have set a price of €65million (£56million) for centre-back Jules Kounde this summer, reports Fabrizio Romano. The Frenchman has been a long-term target for the Blues, dating back to last year.
Chelsea aren’t alone though, as the report claims that Barcelona are still monitoring a move.
