Chelsea look as if they have a number of players they are still hoping to find a future for in the final few hours of the transfer window.
It was claimed at the start of this week that the Blues were hoping for 12 players to move on in either permanent or temporary moves.
A number of players who were out of Enzo Maresca’s plans have been moved on, with Romelu Lukaku and Kepa Arrizabalaga two of the players who are no longer at Stamford Bridge for this season.
Permanent sales have been far harder for them to come by, and the size of the list of players that are still at the club is a sign of that.
One player who they have reportedly been available to the right offer and project this summer is Deivid Washington, with him registering just three first-team appearances for the Blues.
Deivid Washington set to move from Chelsea to Strasbourg
Earlier this summer it was reported that Washington was set for a loan move away from the club, however that idea now seems to have moved on.
According to L’Equipe, Strasbourg are set to agree a club-record deal to sign the young Brazilian on a permanent basis.
The fee mentioned would mean Chelsea will make profit on the 19-year-old, something that is key in the thinking of Todd Boehly and co in a lot of the young signings the Blues make.
Chelsea looking at Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney
Any big signings for Chelsea on deadline day are likely to come in the striker position, with them linked to both Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen.
At this stage, it appears both parties are close to a move to Al-Ahli, however it has been claimed they are not able to bring in two foreign players at this stage.
This could keep the Blues alive in the race to sign a new big-name striker, with deadline day threatening to go all the way down to the wire.
