Chelsea are reportedly closing in on their first addition of what promised to be a busy deadline day at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are looking to address the attack in the final hours what has been a hectic summer transfer window, where they have already seen a number of names enter to strengthen their ranks.
They have already added Joao Felix and Pedro Neto to their ranks this season, although it looks like they are not done yet.

Reports have linked them to the signing of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, with his future looking non-existent for the time while Erik ten Hag is in charge of the club.
Chelsea expected to sign Jadon Sancho
It was claimed earlier that the Blues have launched their first official bid for Sancho, with the player showing an interest in joining the club.
Now, according to The Athletic, the Blues are expected to complete the signing of the winger before the window closes tonight.
There is no doubt that at his best the England international can be a seriously talented player. He has previously been described as ‘special’ by Neymar.
Chelsea need to sell Raheem Sterling
It had previously been believed that a deal for Sancho was going to rely on Chelsea’s ability to find a new home for Raheem Sterling this summer, with him fully out of Enzo Maresca’s plans at Stamford Bridge.
It has been claimed that they have approached Arsenal to try and convince them to strike a deal, however it doesn’t look as if it is going to happen at this stage.
The Blues may need to wait for another transfer window before they make his exit a real thing, with his current wages causing a real issue for any potentailly interested side.
