Chelsea<\/a> have welcomed a host of faces to Stamford Bridge this summer, while offloading players who weren\u2019t part of Enzo Maresca<\/a>\u2019s plans. But the Blues aren\u2019t finished yet, with the clock rapidly ticking down on Monday\u2019s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a summer of change in west London, with the likes of Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap arriving in the capital. Stars including Noni Madueke, Joao Felix and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have been sold to make room for the new faces, with Chelsea<\/a> starting their season with four points from their opening two games. Maresca may well be confident of orchestrating a title charge if the Blues can build on their promising early-season form. And Express Sport takes a look at five transfer deals Chelsea<\/a> may still to complete before the deadline.<\/p>\n

Bring in Alejandro Garnacho<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> have been chasing Alejandro Garnacho this summer<\/a> as they look to further reinforce their attack.<\/p>\n

The Argentine winger has been pushing for a move away from Manchester United<\/a> and is one of four first-team stars currently training away from the rest of the squad.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> have offered United a number of players in an effort to reduce the \u00a350m transfer fee for Garnacho. And they may be able to prise the 21-year-old away from Old Trafford on the cheap as the Red Devils have seemingly planned for life without him.<\/p>\n

Bring in Xavi Simons<\/p>\n

Xavi Simons is another priority signing for Chelsea<\/a>, with the RB Leipzig attacker pursuing a move to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Simons has exhibited his prodigious talents during his time in the Bundesliga and netted 18 goals and 20 assists during his side\u2019s last two league campaigns.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> have reportedly agreed personal terms with the 22-year-old ahead of the deadline, but the transfer fee could be a sticking point as Leipzig are believed to want more than \u00a360m for the star.<\/p>\n

Offload Nicolas Jackson<\/p>\n

Nicolas Jackson was Chelsea<\/a>\u2019s first-choice striker last season as he registered 10 Premier League goals. But he appears to be surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge following the arrivals of Pedro and Delap.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich are closing in on a loan move<\/a>, with Aston Villa also thought to be interested. The Blues are said to be willing to accept a temporary departure if it comes with an obligation to buy.<\/p>\n

Offload Christopher Nkunku<\/p>\n

Christopher Nkunku could barely get a Premier League start last season. And with Chelsea<\/a>\u2019s two new strikers now ahead of him in the pecking order as well as Jackson, his future prospects in west London will be harmed.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa could swoop for Nkunku if they don\u2019t go for Jackson, while the France international has also been linked with a return to RB Leipzig. And if he agrees to return to the Red Bull<\/a> Arena, the transfer could prove to be a catalyst in Simons moving in the other direction.<\/p>\n

Offload Tyrique George<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> reportedly offered Tyrique George to Manchester United<\/a> as part of their efforts to sign Garnacho. But the Red Devils ultimately rejected the deal.<\/p>\n

Roma are now believed to be the frontrunners to land the 19-year-old, who featured 38 times for the Blues last season. And his departure could ultimately help fund the acquisitions of Garnacho and Simons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea have welcomed a host of faces to Stamford Bridge this summer, while offloading players who weren\u2019t part…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":179119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[12448,6075,36652,3902,3242,221,62,101321,3903,67,132,68,62620],"class_list":{"0":"post-179118","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-alejandro-garnacho","9":"tag-chelsea-fc","10":"tag-christopher-nkunku","11":"tag-football-section","12":"tag-nicolas-jackson","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-transfer-deals","16":"tag-transfer-news-section","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-xavi-simons"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115099498284146596","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
